I broke down and ordered one. Happy birthday dad.
That's great! I also thought the price was excessive for a medal, but well worth it to honor your father-in-law. Whenever the Navy 2.5 ounce silver medal comes out, I'm sure I'll get that for myself in remembrance of my Dad, who spent his career in the Navy.
Many years ago, I bought the bicentennial of the Navy 3" bronze medal, and it sits on a shelf alongside a photo of Dad in full dress uniform taken around when he retired in '75, which coincidentally was the year of the Navy bicentennial...
