It would be incomplete without Space Force.

It would be incomplete without Space Force. About as incomplete as leaving off the US Merchant Marine. During WWII, President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to it as America's "Fourth Arm of Defense" due to its invaluable role in enabling the Allies to prevail. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

Had an old friend who was a Merchant Marine. Always said they were the forgotten service.

Oh my, I forgot about the Coast Guard! My sister-in-law was a Coastie. Do not inform her of my error!  With that, maybe they could have had six or seven medals.  |

I remember the Merchant Marines. They went away with the US flagged merchant fleet. You are right though they are totally deserving of recognition.

On a separate note has anyone else been double charged for the medal they ordered? I have 2 charges pending. I've seen them do that in the past followed by a credit. So far no credit.
My medal will be delivered tomorrow. If it's not fixed by then a chat will be on order.

 It will probably fall off, but I'd keep an eye on it. |

I'm not sure if the photos on the product page for the Coast Guard 2.5" medal have been up for a while, but I just noticed them. That medal looks really cool --the boat crashing through the waves is highly detailed.  |
