At my son’s Eagle Court of Honor, he was presented with a Challenge Coin from where I worked as a contractor to the Air Force. It meant a lot to my son. So, thanks for the kind words, like “participation trophy”.
You are a class guy!
“You are a class guy!”
Call it like I see it. No class is passing out challenge coins for no reason, such as giving out a challenge coin from a military unit to a civilian who otherwise earned a distinction unrelated to the military. I could care less that it was your kid.
