Program Description
Event Details
Join local resident SSGT Ed Walz (U.S. Army, Ret.) as he describes his vast collection of military challenge coins, currently on display in our lobby.
A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion, bearing an organization's insignia or emblem and carried by the organization's members. Traditionally, they might be given to prove membership when asked and to enhance morale. They are also collected by service members and law enforcement personnel. Historically, challenge coins were presented by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit. They could also be exchanged in recognition of visits to an organization.
