We honor the true meaning of Memorial Day.
While we can never fully repay our debt to America’s fallen warriors and their families, we can remember their service and honor their sacrifice.

For more information, please call 208-720-7395  or  208-788-2007
Always and Forever . . . Remember the Fallen
In our minds we will always also remember the four vintage military fighters from the Warhawk Air Museum of Nampa, Idaho for being there ready to perform a flyover and the “missing man” tribute at approximately 11:30 am weather permitting for several years.
Many thanks to the pilots that would have graced our skies with the two P-51 Mustangs and two Curtiss P-40’s in the past. The pilots and aircraft providing the flyover:
1. Mark Peterson – P-51 Mustang Pilot
2. Jim Thomas – P-40E Kittyhawk (Shark mouth on front) pilot
3. John Hinton – P-40N Warhawk (Parrot head on front) pilot
4. John Maloney – P-51 Mustang Pilot

The Warhawk Museum of Nampa, Idaho is an outstanding military history museum
in Nampa, Idaho for known for its historic Warbirds and war planes and personal
memorabilia from World War 1, World War ll, the Korean War,
The Vietnam War commending and preserving Veterans’ histories.

While visiting cemeteries, you may notice coins on headstones of military personnel. A coin left on a grave site is a message to the deceased Soldier’s family that someone has visited the grave to pay respect.
Coins on a Grave
These coins have distinct meanings when left on the headstones of Veterans, especially those who gave their life while serving in America’s military. These meanings vary depending on the denomination of coin. The tradition of leaving coins on the headstones of military personnel dates back to the Roman Empire.

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 or her in some capacity. By leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the Soldier when he or she was killed.
