Can anyone tell me please, if this ceremony will be replaid on any TV channel or live stream video?
Thank you.
Not by me or anyone I served with, maybe it is a term that has been adopted. They are unit coins or service coins. They commemorate a unit, event, military service heroic act or some other solemn event.
Challenge coins is a bar game. Never played it myself. A company that makes some of these type coins is called "Challenge Coins". Every company needs a gimic.
It would be an awful thing for someone to use those coins that were placed on the memorial today to win a beer. Wouldn't it?
At best we’re just going to be back where we were when Clinton was in there.
As other FReepers noted...
Beautiful old Hymns with beautiful uplifting words and meanings...
I hope they were a comfort to the families...
DallasSun was sharing the meaning and protocol behind the coins. We welcomed this information.
did those cheering idiots have family that was killed? If not they should NOT have been there. Or been under ORDERS to stand at attention. This was a funeral. Not a rally.
the ARMY failed these people by allowing a pep rally to occur at a memorial for the dead. Again.
PS: When our troops are killed in Afghanistan by those few aberrant intolerant jihadis, does the Army bring the local imams in to chant over their corpses?
[puter is slow for me as well...only on FR. hm.]
Me too, and it was last evening too. I can go to other sites in a click but it takes half a minute for things to move here and I’m on cable.
He was excoriated in the media for his cold shout outs after the attack. I'm sure he got a hard lesson in protocol before he arrived today.
Yes lovely scowl!
I wonder what it's like to be married to a US president knowing your husband was born in Kenya.
...and many blessings and thanks to Shawn's wonderful family!
Credit where credit is due, or else I am not objective in my assessments.
Excuse me? There was no chance a “collectible” was to be left. He was well versed in protocol before he got there as all presidents are. Your rudeness to someone you do not know from Adam’s housecat ...on a memorial thread...leaves alot to be desired. And is uncalled for. Someone asked a question.
Probably plants.....just like at the rallies. Nine year old girl asking softball question etc.
I wonder how many ‘sermons’ Hasan has heard in a Virginia mosque about the ‘unfair’ treatment of the DC sniper, soon to die. I find the timing of Mohammed’s execution and Hasan’s rampage to be too close for coincidence.
They make me sick. POS’s.
That aches to see our men grieving.
I thank you kindly.
[I hope they were a comfort to the families...]
I’m very sure they were. It was a nice tribute - in spite of POTUS.
OMG
That woman looks to be ready for a boxing fight .
She is one angry looking ugly woman
