Sons of American Legion Squadron 434 Challenge Coins are now for sale at the post! Inquire at the bar.

A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion, bearing an organization's insignia or emblem and is carried by the organization's members. They are given to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale. The tradition of a challenge is the most common way to ensure that member's are carrying their unit's coin. The challenge, which can be held at anytime, begins with the challenger drawing his or her coin, and slapping or placing the coin on the table or bar. Everyone being challenged must immediately producte the coin for their organization and anyone failing to do so must buy a round of drinks for the challenger and everyone else who has their challenge coin. However, should everyone challenged be able to produce their coin, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for the group. This is a great way to enhance camaraderie and support for any organization.
