2025 Pennies for Heroes

The Real Story Behind Pennies on Veterans' Graves
What do you do when you want to honor fallen heroes but don't know where to start?
I'll be honest - I am a member of Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association and sometimes ride with American Legion Riders . But after seeing what they do at the Iowa Veterans Cemetery, I had to share it with you.
This isn't your typical "support the troops" video. It's about real people doing real work to make sure no veteran is forgotten. From the combat vets who found brotherhood on two wheels to the Legion Riders carrying on a century-old mission, these folks are living proof that service doesn't end when you hang up the uniform.
And those coins you might have seen on veterans' headstones? There's a powerful tradition behind that simple gesture - one that connects us to generations of warriors who understood that remembrance matters.
I'm nobody special, just someone who believes these stories need telling. So grab a coffee and let me walk you through what I learned about the people who make sure our fallen heroes are never forgotten.
