LIGHT HORSE CHALLENGE COINS
ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE NOW !
IMPORTANT STUFF!
In 2010, D Troop Crusader Pilot and "Plank Holder," Sonny Kayser
worked very hard to get the first "batch" of our beautiful Challenge Coins for the Troop.
As we approached the 2016 Light Horse Reunion Rick Roll and I decided to have 100 more coins struck but discovered that the
vendor had gone out of business.
Sonny found another vendor who again charged a substantial set-up fee (which was generously donated by a fellow Trooper)
but we had 100 coins (also donated by a generous fellow Trooper)
for sale in Daytona Beach in April 2016.
We sold all 100 coins!
Wishing to another batch available, we soon discovered the "new" vendor had also gone out of business!
We have located another vendor and again there will be a set up fee and minimum of 100 coins to be struck.
That said, there really hasn't been much interest from the Troop to have more coins produced.
Rick Roll and I will wait until we have a decent commitment for good number of coins before we enter into business with another vendor.
About the coins:
Every effort was made to include the Unit's history during its tour in Vietnam from Bear Cat to Dong Tam and finally Vinh Long.
As you can see by the photos below, you can hold the coin in the your palm and read all of the Platoon callsigns.
The coins were not being struck for profit!
