My First Coin

Photo 357 - September 14

Over the years that we have been together, Dale has amassed what I consider to be a rather large collection of military coins. He has gotten them for achievements and awards, some he has purchased, like the coins he got at James' graduation from basic training, and some he has traded for. Yesterday, I was kind of surprised when Dale's prior commander came up to me and told me that I had been nominated for an award, for my help with the Family Readiness Group, and that I had been the runner up, and he had a certificate for me. What he also had was my very first coin - actually an Adjutant General's coin, and I'm kind of proud of it. It only took me almost 30 years of being a military wife to earn one of my own.
