Cowboy I have a few from all my years, if she wants one I would be more than happy to give one. She is a trooper, everyday she appears she must be as up to date as possible and have on the thickest skin possible. The people in the crowd as a general rule dont like her hahaha

LTC Jeff Shearer - The poor kid does look like she has aged about 30 years in the past year. Then again the White House definitely ages a person more than the four or eight years that pass while in the White House.

It was me. I put on my trusty tin foil hat with built in mind control transmitter, and sent out general thoughts in the general direction of DC. Those most susceptible were induced to create useless coins. Unfortunately, the mint also put out a bunch of useless coins too - further decreasing the value of the dollar. Sorry.

Cpl Scott McCarroll I Really Don't Know their History but they started being a Navy Thing towards the End of My Career. Usually Handed out by the Force Master Chief of Your Organization. I think they have an Older Tradition with our Army Comrades. First One I got was from an Army National Guard Soldier.

Cpl Scott McCarroll HISTORY OF THE Challenge Coin The challenge coin, usually a bronze medal, is said to have originated with the United States Air Corps and has become a favorite medium of proof of a person's membership in a military unit. Take the badge of the unit. If a person is challenged to produce the coin, it should be shown. The exact origins of the Challenge Coin is unknown, but one of the versions is that the rich university men who joined the US Air Corps. to fight in the First World War there were coins minted to give to the companions, as a gesture...

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel thanks, the thing about unit badge, we never had all that bling on our uniforms, although thinking about it I remember something like that when I went to the Boy Scout National Jamboree
