Hello Paladinsgate Shoppers!! Welcome to your Army Challenge coin listing for this Special Item: National Guard Challenge Coin “My Commitment To You” Brand New! 2009-2010 GRAP! Condition: Brand New w/case! RARE! Coins were originally part of the GRAP program approximately around 2007-2010 time frame that was discontinued just before Operation New Dawn, Iraq 2011-2012. Inactive guardsman were allowed to assist recruiters in recruiting new guardsman to Army inactive reserves. The challenge coins were part of the package for assisting in the recruitment process and were traditionally given out to new recruits who contracted with the Army National Guard. HISTORY! The First Official Challenge Coin, Maybe…Although no one is certain how challenge coins came to be, one story dates back to World War I, when a wealthy officer had bronze medallions struck with the flying squadron’s insignia to give to his men. Shortly after, one of the young flying aces was shot down over Germany and captured. The Germans took everything on his person except the small leather pouch he wore around his neck that happened to contain his medallion. The pilot escaped and made his way to France. But the French believed he was a spy, and sentenced him to execution. In an effort to prove his identity, the pilot presented the medallion. A French soldier happened to recognize the insignia and the execution was delayed. The French confirmed his identity and sent him back to his unit. One of the earliest challenge coins was minted by Colonel “Buffalo Bill” Quinn, 17th Infantry Regiment, who had them made for his men during the Korean War. The coin features a buffalo on one side as a nod to its creator, and the Regiment’s insignia on the other side. A hole was drilled in the top so the men could wear it around their necks, instead of in a leather pouch. The ChallengeStories say that the challenge began in Germany after World War II. Americans stationed there took up the local tradition of conducting “pfennig checks.” The pfennig was the lowest denomination of coin in Germany, and if you didn’t have one when a check was called, you were stuck buying the beers. This evolved from a pfenning to a unit’s medallion, and members would “challenge” each other by slamming a medallion down on the bar. If any member present didn’t have his medallion, he had to buy a drink for the challenger and for anyone else that had their coin. If all the other members had their medallions, the challenger had to buy everyone drinks. The Secret HandshakeIn June 2011, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates toured military bases in Afghanistan before his impending retirement. Along the way, he shook hands with dozens of men and women in the Armed Forces in what, to the naked eye, appeared to be a simple exchange of respect. It was, in fact, a secret handshake with a surprise inside for the recipient—a special Secretary of Defense challenge coin. The 5 coins I have available are originally from Little Rock Arkansas, Camp Joseph T. Robinson. Once they are gone, their GONE! “My Commitment To You!” Will be shipped in a 4×6″ bubble wrap package for protection!
