Recorded Account

This coin is the Squadron Commander's coin for 1st Squadron, 7th United States Cavalry, for OIF 09-10. Front of the coin has the distinctive cavalry guidon with crossed sabers, and the beginning of FIDDLER's GREEN: Halfway down the trail to hell... The squadron was commanded by LTC Charlie Costanza, now LTG Costanza, commanding 5th Corps. I received this coin from the SCO for assisting the S2 in the squadron.
