Having never served, I haven't "earned" any, but have been given a few from some special friends.

I have never been in the military so coins were not something I was aware of. I was given a challenge coin a couple of years ago by Sheriff Ken Campbell of Boone County Indiana. He is an instructor at Gunsite and was running the Cooper Cup during the GAS Match. This course of fire was way beyond my skill level, but he talked me into shooting it. What did I have to loose? It was my last day there and I didn't know if I would ever get back. At least I could say I tried. To my total amazement I did score - albeit a very low one. I was so over whelmed, Sheriff Ken gave me a Challenge Coin from the Boone County Sheriff's Department. I now have my very own coin given to me for something I accomplished.

See, you don't know until you try. Nice achievement and now you have a little token to remember it by!

Very cool Sister of the congregation. There is all this talk about coins but very few pictures. I have some in the mail headed my way that I have ordered. I'll post pics when I get em.
