jon1 Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I ran across these on Facebook today (made me immediately think of Jake) and got to thinking about military member's who received a Unit Challenge Coin while stationed in the Philippines. I was wondering if some you fellows who had been stationed here that received some of these coins, might be interested in posting some pics and sharing the history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately no....but I do have some history with photos but they've rated beyond PG...he, he. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon1 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 All of my coins are rated G! hahaha I think as a result of a more PC military (post 2000).... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support scott h Posted August 3, 2015 Forum Support Posted August 3, 2015 I would bring all my coins home, throw em in a box. One day I was going to add another and the box was empty. I really didn't care that much but when I asked my wife where they were she said...."they were the perfect size and weight, so I sewed them on the bottom of the curtains as weights". :1 (103): 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went into the army in 90 was when I first started seeing them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
