Description This special coin salutes the proud and brave Americans who, a half-century ago, served the cause of freedom in the Vietnam War. Their patriotic service inspired countless future generations of military men and women through the courage and resolve they demonstrated in Southeast Asia. For over 50 years we have told the stories of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who bravely entered the struggle to prevent communist aggression and liberate the people of South Vietnam. These heroes were bound together by a common enemy, fate, topography, and politics. Now, inspired by The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, those who belong to this elite club called Vietnam Veterans can carry this meticulously crafted coin as a firm reminder of proud service to country. The obverse details a topographic map of Vietnam in green transparent enamel, with the 20-year conflict span shown as 1955-1975, a bamboo dragon behind, all overlaid above a Vietnam Service Ribbon. The words HONORING: SERVICE, VALOR, SACRIFICE adorn the outside ring. The reverse shows the VVA Commemoration emblem, above a banner reading Commemorative Partner. This item measures 2 inch (50mm) in diameter.
