Challenge Coin Exchange — 5

1 Comment

Another chal­lenge coin exchange! Stan­dard pre­amble: I exchange chal­lenge coins with mem­bers of the mil­i­tary, law-enforcement or other orga­ni­za­tions that use chal­lenge coins. The SHADOW OPS series cen­ters around a fic­tional mil­i­tary unit called the SOC, and I have had chal­lenge coins cre­ated for this unit.

This chal­lenge coin exchange is with my friend Eric, retired from the Mon­terey Police. The US Coast Guard is the only branch of the US mil­i­tary that serves double duty as fed­eral law enforce­ment, making all of us police offi­cers (though not all of us work in that capacity). As a result, I feel a spe­cial kin­ship with mem­bers of the “thin blue line” and I am delighted to add this chal­lenge coin to my col­lec­tion. Even better, Eric has included a uni­form sleeve patch as well. Thanks, Eric!

L — Mon­terey Police Chief’s coin. R — SOC coin. Your coin gets mine!

Love this coin. I’m really pleased Eric liked the book and I hope the SOC coin gets pride of place on his shelf.

Remember, your coin gets mine! If you’re mil­i­tary, law-enforcement, or a member of another orga­ni­za­tion that uses chal­lenge coins and want to trade with me, email me at myke (at) mykecole (dot) com.
