fuel for me a passion for Marine Corps history connected to their
distinguished heritage. These Patches tie us back to our history, to the people who came before us, to
all of
the giants and to all of the little people ... who make the Corps work
day-to-day. That's really what these Patches represents. It's about
the US Marines...from the Private to the Four Star General, it is the
only service where everyone is called "A Marine"..... it's about people
& their airplanes/equipment that
make the Corps what it is!

HISTORY OF THE CHALLENGE COIN
During
World War I, American volunteers from all parts of the country filled
the newly formed flying squadrons. Some were wealthy scions attending
colleges such as Yale and Harvard who quit in mid-term to join the war.
In one squadron, a wealthy lieutenant ordered medallions struck in
solid bronze carrying the squadron emblem for every member of his
squadron. He himself carried his medallion in a small leather pouch
around his neck.
Shortly after
acquiring the medallions, the pilot's aircraft was severely damaged by
ground fire. He was forced to land behind enemy lines and was
immediately captured by a German patrol. In order to discourage his
escape, the Germans took all of his personal identification except for
the small leather pouch around his neck.
In
the meantime, he was taken to a small French town near the front.
Taking advantage of a bombardment that night, he escaped. However, he
was without personal identification. He succeeded in avoiding German
patrols and reached the front lines. With great difficulty, he crossed
no-man's land. Eventually, he stumbled onto a French outpost.
Unfortunately, saboteurs had plagued the French in this sector. They
sometimes masqueraded as civilians and wore civilian clothes. Not
recognizing the young pilot's American accent, the French thought him a
saboteur and made ready to execute him. Just in time, he remembered his
leather pouch containing the medallion. He showed the medallion to his
would-be executioners. His French captors recognized the squadron
insignia on the medallion and delayed long enough for him to confirm
his identity. Instead of shooting him, they gave him a bottle of wine.
Back
at his squadron, it became a tradition to ensure that all members
carried their medallion or coin at all times. This was accomplished
through a challenge in the following manner: a challenger would ask to
see the coin. If the challenged could not produce his coin, he was
required to buy a drink of choice for the member who challenged him. If
the challenged member produced his coin, the challenging member was
required to pay for the drink. This tradition continued throughout the
war and for many years after while surviving members of the squadron
were still alive. The fighting men and women of the 48th Intelligence
Squadron proudly continue this tradition.
THIS GREAT COIN IS AVAILABLE IN ANOTHER OF OUR EBAY AUCTIONS AND WHEN COMBINED WITH THIS AUCITON SHIPPING FOR THIS ITEM IS FREE!

THE CHALLENGE
Some
Organizations even have regulations regarding Military Coins. Here is
an example. A 'Coin Check' consists of a challenge and a response. 1.
RULES: a. The challenge is initiated by drawing your coin, holding it
in the air by whatever means possible and state, scream, shout or
otherwise verbally acknowledge that you are initiating a coin check.
Another, but less vocal method is to firmly place it on the bar, table,
Or floor (this should produce an audible noise which can be easily
heard by those being challenged, but try not to leave a permanent
imprint). If you accidentally drop your coin and it makes an audible
sound upon impact, then you have just "accidentally" initiated a coin
check. (This is called paying the price for improper care of your
coin."
b. The response consists of all
those persons being challenged drawing their coin in a like manner
(other organizational coins are invalid). You must produce a coin with
YOUR UNIT'S LOGO on it.
c. If you are
challenged and are unable to properly respond, you must buy a round of
drinks for the challenger and the group being challenged.
d.
If everyone being challenged responds in the correct manner, the
challenger must buy a round of drinks for all those people he
challenged.
e. Failure to buy a round is a despicable crime and will require that you turn-in your Coin to the issuing agency.
2. Coin checks are permitted, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE'. (Keep OPSEC in mind, be smart!)
3.
There are no exceptions to the rules. They apply to those clothed or
unclothed. At the time of the challenge, you are permitted one-step and
an arms reach to locate your coin. If you still cannot reach it --
SORRY ABOUT THAT!
4. A Coin is a coin.
Coins attached on belt buckles are considered "belt buckles." Coins on
key chains are considered "key chains." Coins placed in a
"holder/clasp" and worn around the neck like a necklace are valid and
are considered a coin.
We can also make a special ebay auction to make your custom coin too!
We
also value two things that have become endangered, top quality
merchandise and old fashioned service! We respect your time by making
every effort to fill your orders accurately and as promptly as
possible. Your business is our livelihood.
I ALWAYS...ALWAYS ANSWER EMAILS...IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE, AN EMAIL REPLY BACK THAT DAY, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY PROBLEMS....If you don't hear from me within two business days please check to see that your e-mail address,
as registered on e-bay is still valid, and send me an e-mail so that I
can contact you. Sometimes computer protection programs will reject
emails and sent them back to me rejected.
