Respect coin on a head stone

I wonder if any of the protesting NFL players have ever visited any National Cemetery. Let alone placed a respect coin on a head stone.

COINS LEFT ON TOMBSTONES

While visiting some cemeteries you may notice that headstones marking certain graves have coins on them, left by previous visitors to the grave.

These coins have distinct meanings when left on the headstones of those who gave their life while serving in America’s military, and these meanings vary depending on the denomination of coin.

A coin left on a headstone or at the grave site is meant as a message to the deceased soldier’s family that someone else has visited the grave to pay respect. Leaving a penny at the grave means simply that you visited.

A nickel indicates that you and the deceased trained at boot camp together, while a dime means you served with him in some capacity. By leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the soldier when he was killed.

 Free country. At least for now. Doubt I would do what they do unless I was in sight of that person in the rich people's house. I refuse to say his name. He feels he is being disrespected. How dare anybody do that to him he feels. For now it is legal. How much longer ? Not a football fan but I support their right to.
Humans are the most dangerous animals on earth.

If only animals had the ability to know when to keep away from us humans they would be better off.
