After a six (6) month absence from
preparing the 63rd Infantry Division Internet
Newsletter I have returned.
This will not be lengthy as my primary
purpose is to let you know about the
Challenge Coins I recently had made for
members of the 254th Infantry Regiment and
the 63rd Infantry Division. My reason for
selecting only the the 254th Infantry
Regiment for this project is simple. It was
the regiment that I served with during WWII
and I was not financially able to purchased
the dies necessary to make coins for other
units.
If someone is interested in having this type of
coin made for their unit I will put you in
touch with a number of companies that
produce these coins.
I would hope that by providing this
information you may be inclined to purchase
a few of the coins that I still have in stock.
The price is $10.60 per coin which includes
postage and a plastic case. Also available are
presentation boxes for the price of $5.50
each.
Your order should be accompanied by a
check for the amount of your order and
mailed to Fred Clinton 102 S. Jenkins Street,
Alexandria, VA 22304.
All monies received over and above my
expenses for this project will be sent to the
Treasurer, 63rd Infantry Division Assocation.
