USS Thomas Hudner Challenge Coin: A Tribute to Extraordinary Valor
Honoring the Medal of Honor Recipient in Stunning 24K Gold
When you hold this USS Thomas Hudner Challenge Coin, you’re not just holding a piece of metal – you’re cradling a legend of naval heroism that transcends time. Each 5mm thick edge whispers the story of Lieutenant Hudner’s selfless rescue attempt in the frozen Chosin Reservoir, making this the most meaningful military keepsake you’ll ever own.
Our master craftsmen have poured the same attention to detail into creating this coin that Hudner demonstrated in his extraordinary act of courage. The brilliant 24K gold plating catches the light like the glint of honor in a warrior’s eye, while the substantial weight (nearly twice standard thickness) reminds you of the weight of sacrifice borne by our naval heroes.
