Cedar Hill Visit / 2020


I set out with the coins I had made --



I made my trip to Cedar Hill a day early, A cool morning,
with the clouds touching the ground.



I've changed the way I place my Remember Coins,
I attach them with putty to the back of the UDC markers.
They will cause no damage and can be removed if that's desired.
They may never be seen, but I know they are there.


I gave it my best shot to give a little information on the soldiers I placed a coin for.
