Does anybody still have their Challenge Coins (aka Commander's Coins)?
If you still have it, let's see it.
If you have more than one, let's see them all.
Since I called the Coin Check, protocol dictates that I must show mine first.
I have two, but they are identical. I got the first one in 1981, the second one in 1982.

I loved Lee Marvin in the Big Red One! But, alas, as a leatherneck, no one ever gave me a coin. Not even a plugged nickel. Love it, Lori! Congratulations. I look forward to seeing other coins from other vets.

Wow! Master Sergeant is like God in the Marine Corps. I made it as far as corporal. Buck sergeant in the National Guard. Thanks, Rochelle.
