    A person wearing U.S. military multicam/OCP camouflage uniform holds up a challenge coin featuring an angry bulldog mascot with a red collar against a backdrop of the American flag. The coin appears to be a military unit challenge coin, a tradition common in U.S. armed forces. The composition is deliberate and photographic, likely an official or commemorative image.

    Challenge coins are traditionally given to individuals to signify membership in an organization or commemorate an outstanding achievement. While it is not uncommon for service members to receive more than one coin in their career, many only carry the one that is most important to them.

    “It was my first opportunity as a First Sergeant to take Soldiers into a combat zone and have a successful mission and make sure everyone got back safe.”

    U.S. Army Master Sgt. Timothy Small, Base Operations Support - Integrator operations NCOIC
