#project365 [day 64] Revolutionary War Veteran

NewYork_20150323_084

Scattered throughout the cemeteries located in church grounds I kept seeing these medals. Being something I never came across before they intrigued me, and this one even had a tiny flag next to it which made for an irresistible target for my camera.They are in fact grave markers to distinguish the brave souls who perished in the call of duty. This one is dedicated to a soldier of the Revolutionary War, better known to us as the War of Independence. You can find a number of other markers for most other wars that the US fought in and even for Fireman amongst others. This one was found next to Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan, New York City.
