Today on my way into town I stopped by Cedar Hill Cemetery in Suffolk VA.

I decided to practice what I preach.
I've been making "Remember" coins to be left at the graves of Confederate Soldiers.
I decided to place a few today.
My First stop was at The Tom Smith Monument.
Tom Smith is the name of the local SCV Camp.
More on Tom Smith HERE
I left a coin at the base of the monument.
I also left one at his grave.
It's not hard to find a Confederate Grave at Cedar Hill so I stopped and placed a few more.
No Honor Guard, or Cannon fire, No ceremony at all.
Just a grateful descendant of a Confederate Soldier who stopped by to say Thanks !
Ever though about trying to make medallions that are biodegradable?
ReplyDeleteThat's easy, I can make em out of AIR DRY CLAY and paint em with a water base paint. A few weeks in the weather and they would be gone !
DeleteRight, much like flowers on a grave. However, it would be much more eco friendly.
DeleteWell the folks who want the coins have the option.
DeleteJust a btw, some cemeteries have rules requiring bio-friendly add-ons to graves. Keep a look out.
