A check for the amount of the surcharges was presented May 7 in Fort Smith to U.S. Marshals Museum Inc. in a formal ceremony that included U.S. Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark. and U.S. Rep.

I'm getting modern commemorative coin fatigue. Report this Post to the Staff

If that is the case then I know how you feel.
