History of the Challenge Coin

During WWI pilots carried medallion coins with them as a show of respect, loyalty, oath, & camaraderie for their unit. This
tradition came about after a pilot was shot down, captured; escaped, & then thought to be a spy at the front lines where they where going to execute him. The only ID the pilot had to prove his identity was his coin which saved his life. Ninety years later this tradition still continues. Soldiers, police officers, fireman & paramedics risk their lives everyday for our safety. They carry their coin as a personal token symbolizing this devotion & allegiance to their unit.
