Military coins

[bryan0994]

Question to all of the military members on here. My Grandfather was buried in Arlington National Cemetery earlier this year and his flag was presented to my mother. I need to make her a flag holder and want to put both Navy and Marines coins on it since he was in both. Where is a good place to fine these. I have seen several site, but being I was never in the military I don't know the difference in the ones I see. Thanks for your help.

Sgt Grit (grunt.com) is a good place to buy anything Marine Corps related.

Military coins

Thanks, I just found out that I was mistaken, he was in the Army and the Navy. There is so much of his life that he never shared, he would never talk about his career in the military, I know he seen way to much in the wars he was in and I believe that effected him to the point where he didn't want to talk about it.

I think the not sharing is normal. My dad won't share anything about his tours in the sand box.

The not sharing is totally normal. My dad never talked about his time in the Army, and I rarely talk to my girls about what I have seen in the Navy.

BTW what kind od coins are you looking for? ill see if I can help.

Totally normal I only talk with others that have been there. No sandbox for me it was a jungle, ugly and very little media.

Well I did find out that he drove a truck in the Army and was a corp man in the Navy. I would love to find coins that shows what he did. These will be inset in the wood frame.
