"The 9/11 10th Anniversary 'NEVER FORGET' Challenge Coin is our way of saying thank you to all those who choose to serve and to their families."

USO Puget Sound Area has already sold more than 5,000 '9/11 10th Anniversary "NEVER FORGET" Challenge Coins,' generating more than $30,000 for USO programs and services supporting active-duty military, dependents, veterans and wounded warriors.
"I was stationed at the Pentagon in 2001 until about a month before the 9/11 attacks," said Donald Leingang, USO Puget Sound Area Executive Director and Commander, USN (Ret.). "This challenge coin has special meaning to me, both as a memorial to the brave Americans we lost on that tragic day, and for how this fundraiser is helping the USO and our local military families."
The beautifully designed and crafted 9/11 challenge coin honors the memory of our fallen heroes, and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom.
The front side of the 9/11 10th Anniversary Challenge Coin includes a beautiful 3-D relief which features the World Trade Center twin towers, and our universal symbols of freedom in the American Bald Eagle, Statue of Liberty and the Stars & Stripes.
The words "NEVER FORGET" communicate our resolve to remember the lessons of 9/11, and keep the memory of our fallen American heroes in our hearts forever.
The inner circle includes a 21-gun salute in the form of 21 gun casings, which honor all those who have fallen as a result of 9/11.
On the opposite side, a 3-D relief of the Pentagon supports a soldier's memorial to our troops and reads "HOME OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE." The names of all five service branches also appear on this side.
"IN GOD WE TRUST" is laser etched on the coin's top edge.
The coin is die-struck brass metal with 3-D reliefs, 2" (50mm) diameter, ⅛" (4mm) thickness, antique brass plating, a diamond-cut swirl edge, and every 9/11 challenge coin comes in a soft black velvet pouch.
The '9/11 10th Anniversary "NEVER FORGET" Challenge Coin' is an authentic, custom-designed military challenge coin and is Not legal tender or intended as an investment.
"The intrinsic value of this coin, or any military challenge coin, is a measure of the honor of those it represents, and the patriotism of the person carrying it," said Jordan Haines. "If you're looking for a solid investment, buy our coins and invest in the brave men and women keeping you and your family safe."
