Loved seeing the one's that still had pics, some of the pics expired though I guess.
Here are a couple that I have:

One is very special and dear to my heart, it was purchased long after my Grandfather passed away, but he was very proud of his service, and was a member of the 95th Infantry Division during WWII. The "Iron Men of Metz" were incredible during the war, reading about their history was fascinating. My Grandfather (Robert Tavernelli Jr.) passed away before relaying most of his stories from the war, but I was blessed with an Email out of the blue one day after leaving a message on a 95th forum many years ago asking if anyone knew my Grandfather... One of his fellow servicemen was able to really catch me up with pictures, and first person history of their endeavors, he is 93 years old, and very good with a computer! (Thank You Elmer!)

The other coin was given to me for doing extensive computer work for a Chef that served at the White House for the Department of the Navy. It's an Official Presidential Food Service Coin.

Thanks for sharing your coins guys, and Colonel WOW what a collection you have!
