In 2014 on Memorial Day, 12 year old Boy Scouts of America Life Scout (Joshua Katz), was volunteering service hours at the South Florida National Cemetery event. While handing out water, to those attending the Memorial Day Ceremony (and helping out wherever he could), Joshua noticed a penny on a headstone and wondered what it was there for, but no one around Joshua knew what it meant, so Joshua took a picture of it. After the Memorial Day Event was over, Joshua looked up what leaving a coin on a headstone, in a National Cemetery meant and found that each denomination of coin had its own meaning.
* A penny meant that someone had visited the gravesite of the soldier;
* A nickel meant that a soldier had visited the gravesite of a soldier;
* A dime meant that a soldier that served with that soldier had visited their gravesite;
* And a quarter meant that someone whom was present when the soldier passed had visited the soldier. Disappointed, that he only saw 2 pennies on headstones (in the whole cemetery), Joshua wanted to find a way to recognize every soldier in the cemetery, so that their families would all know that their soldier has not been forgotten. Joshua spent his 2014 summer with the daunting task coming up with a way to recognized all of the soldiers interred at The South Florida National Cemetery. Until the middle of the summer, when Joshua came up with the idea of doing it with Boy Scout Patrols. Once Joshua decided to assign a BSA Patrol to every section of the cemetery, in order to live read the names of every soldier interred and leave a challenge coin for the families, he started to write a plan for an event. Then Joshua emailed his plans to the Director of The South Florida National Cemetery (Mr. Leopard quickly responded to Joshua's email, requesting a meeting to further discuss the event. Leopard, to discuss his plans to live read the names of every soldier interred in The South Florida National Cemetery. Leopard a sketched design of the challenge coins that he wanted to leave on each soldiers headstone. By the end of that meeting the 2 agreed to hold Joshua's event in support of National POW/MIA Remembrance Day. And for it to take place on the second Saturday of September, to assure that the names would be read and the challenge coins placed by the 3rd Friday of September (National POW/MIA Remembrance Day). Saturday September 13, 2014, the Inaugural POW-MIA-OREE Event was a success and the movement was borne. Now, Joshua's goal after completing his 2nd annual POW-MIA-OREE Event, is to expand his event even further, to include all of the National Cemeteries in the Sate of Florida in 2016 and to go National within a Few years after that, so that every soldiers name is live read every year, so No Soldiers Name Is Ever "Forgotten"
