resolute confidence in their mission and the firm belief that America's
cause in the world is right. Wielding the sword of honor and wearing
the breastplate of righteousness, America's troops tackle every
challenge with steadfast conviction and the desire to achieve absolute
victory over tyranny.
This coin pays tribute to the brave men and
women of America's military, who risk their lives every day to keep
liberty's lamp burning brightly throughout the world. Minted with a
special process and dies called splash minting, this coin carries
detail and relief that is quite exceptional.
The obverse depicts
traditional pieces of armor, including the breastplate, shield, sword,
and helmet. The reverse carries the inspirational Ephesians 6:10-12:
Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might, put
on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the Devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Each
coin comes packaged with a detailed header card that describes the
courage and commitment of all those who fight for justice as members of
America's military.
