DO YOU HAVE YOUR CHALLENGE COIN YET?

History of Challenge Coins
Since World War I, challenge coins have been upheld as treasured symbols of an unbreakable bond. For almost 100 years, challenge coins have served to remind groups, teams and units of their common goals, dedication and allegiance. In World War I, a wealthy lieutenant had custom challenge coins minted for all those in his unit as a symbol of loyalty. Narrowly escaping the Germans, one pilot in this unit produced his challenge coin to French soldiers and had his life spared. That inspired the others in this pilot's unit to always carry their challenge coins.

The Meaning of Challenge Coins
Today, custom challenge coins can still represent a tight bond between members of military units however; their popularity has spread to other teams and clubs. Recognizing that challenge coins build team spirit, preserve unity and encourage stronger ties, many other organizations have begun issuing custom challenge coins to bolster these traits.

EP Challenge Coin
The Eden Prairie Veterans Memorial Challenge coin has been carefully minted from the finest quality materials. One side depicts the memorial logo, crafted uniquely by the memorial committee, amongst an experienced crew spanning many years, services and conflicts. The other side promotes the committees slogan “Remember Your Veterans”, not just any veterans, but YOURS. This explicit wording sets us apart from similar organizations making a connection between the supporters and veterans. Displayed on the bottom of that side is the website address for the memorial; the one place where there is current and detailed information about the memorial. In the center is a proud picture of “Old Glory” – the National Ensign, a symbol of our freedom which veterans have made many deep sacrifices.
