| Dec. 27, 2008 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Armed Forces medal? Today my wife bought a soldier and his wife lunch at a fast food restaurant (The Big Chicken in Marietta). He thanked her and as he shook her hand he gave her a five sided medal. On one side it had eagle's head, the crests of all five branches of the military with a background of an American flag. The other side had an airplane, Master Sgt stripes (I'm guessing), a major's insignia, the Army Reserve insignia, two other insignias and inscriptions "R & R Program" and also "Awarded for excellence". Another inscription says "Atlanta Personnel Assistance Point, Human Resources Command, Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport" Does anyone know what this is? I remember hearing on the Neil Boortz show about military tokens that were meant to be passed along. Is this one of them? |
