Does make you wonder if the President has "Commanders coins" to pass out. Can you imagine the pride in getting one of them?

I might be misinformed, but The President's Hundred just might. Are they not part of 3rd Regt., same as the Tomb Guards?

The President's One Hundred is a uniform "tab" that is awarded for excellence in marksmanship. The finest "one hundred" marksman in the nation. The 3rd Regiment of United States Infantry is an independent regiment also known as the "Old Guard" whose duties include burials in Arlington, guard duty at the Tomb Of The Unknowns, and real-world missions. They have the longest unbroken linage of any unit in the United States Army.
