Challenge Coins Represent the Steadfast Tradition of Military Honor
While you will see many different types of coins, challenge coins are very special coins that are given to service personnel as a way of building their moral and enforcing the image of the entire unit being behind each other, and supporting the various people in the unit.
The tradition of challenge coins began during the First World War. During this time many volunteers joined the United States Army Air Service which was the forerunner to the US Air Force. One of the service lieutenants ordered small, solid bronze medallions or coins to be made. These coins were then presented to the members of his squadron. As one of his squadron mates had never owned anything as valuable as this coin he placed the coin in a leather pouch which he hung around his neck.
When this serviceman was captured by the Germans all of his personal belongings were confiscated. The only item to escape their detection was the challenge coin which was still hanging around his neck. When the army air force man escaped from the Germans he was later captured by the French who mistook him for a German as he was wearing one of their uniforms. Just before this service man was about to be executed he showed the challenge coin to a French officer in the hope that his country of origin would be proven.
When he returned back home and recounted his tale the coin was called a challenge coin and more of these challenge coins were minted. These challenge coins were later adopted by all branches of the military. From the legend of this coin a new way of using the coin was adopted. This is where the challenge coins tradition was born.
In this tradition the challenge coins are used to boost moral and lets the various personal see if their unit mates are wearing their challenge coins. When one service personnel member meets another and demands the challenge coin to be produced, the challenged person has to produce the coin.
The failure to produce the challenge coin means that a round of drinks has to be bought for everyone who is present at the challenge. On the other hand if there is a group of people who have been challenged and they produce their challenge coins the challenger has to buy everyone a round of drinks. As you see, from the beginnings of the challenge coins to the present day, these coins represent the steadfast tradition of military honor and loyalty.

Military Medals,Ribbons, Awards?
I am a Retired Marine and have been awarded the Navy Marine Corps Medal, Bronze Star "V", Purple Heart **. Along with others.
My question is that once I retired I put everything in a footlocker and have kept it in my sisters basement for the past few years.
I have only my DD214 and a few pics with me where I live. Most of my friends are Vets and always ask me why I dont display an I love Me Wall in my house. I dont have any Military items in my house and they question my thoughts about supporting the troops now. I dont discuss politics or religion and My thoughts and prays are always with our troops. I chose to keep my past tucked away because it helps me move forward in my future. Does any one think that there is something wrong with this? I dont use the VA for my injuries and never will because I am capable of working. I also do not suffer from PTSD. Any comments would be appreciated.
It's entirely up to you, I tided up the garage and I have all my old Company photo's and various units I was in hanging on the wall out there not in the house, I do not have any medals in any cases etc, but I do wear my ribbons on remembrance day. Other wise the full medals are in a safe box and thats it,. you do what ever you are comfortable with, I think it is more an American thing to have shadow boxes but it is catching on and us Brits are starting to do it as well we have a good company who is doing it now

And I did splash out a wee bit and get this, only the missus would not let me put it in the house, so its in the garage as well
