RALEIGH, N.C. — A local man is doing his part to do nothing for veterans except raise the public's awareness that they exist through a viral video campaign, sources confirmed today.
Richard Tippman, 31, recently recorded a video of himself stacking nickels on top of each other and uploaded it to Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #NickelsForVets.
The video has been shared more than 100,000 times, inspiring many other Americans to post pictures and videos of their own stacks of nickels in honor of America's veterans. The campaign comes on the heels of other awareness campaigns that had Americans doing pushups, performing dance routines, and eating cake for the troops.
