I had hoped to join you today but it just didn't work out that way :( Congrats on the bunch of silvers too...........don't forget to post some pics aye. Looking forward to seeing the medallion all cleaned up Jason........sounds very cool. Does it have a personal dedication of any kind? With those dates, it sounds like a victory medal of some sort.
