173d Memorial Medallions
02 January 2008
Honoring America's Sky Soldiers

America's debt to the 173d Airborne Brigade can never fully be repaid, but a new memorial will go a long way toward honoring the sacrifice of all those who have served under its flag. As a tribute to these brave men and women and to help raise funds for the memorial, members of this famed unit have created a custom commemorative medallion with the help of Northwest Territorial Mint.

The Medallions Creation

Northwest Territorial Mint worked closely with the 173d Airborne Brigade Memorial Foundation to create a medallion that captures the unit's unique identity and commemorates the Sky Soldier Memorial. The obverse (heads) side of the 1 7/8-inch medallion features the unit's distinctive emblem. The reverse bears a rendering of the new memorial, which is sited on the grounds of the National Infantry Museum adjacent to Fort Benning, Georgia.

Quote from Don Dali, Director of the 173d Memeorial Founation

"...truly a tribute to the 173d Airborne Brigade Memorial Project and all those soldiers whose lives were taken from us while serving under its flag." "The attention to detail, workmanship and quality is nothing less than outstanding!!! All those who have seen them think they are beautiful. Most of all, the professionalism extended to us by you and NWTM staff was superb."
