The honor coin or Medal of Honor coin as they are sometimes called is a coin of integrity. The possession of this coin when presented by the military is a coin which indicates the owner is a firm believer in principles and high morale standards. Being a person of honor is one of the highest compliments one can receive.

When given by the military, the owner of the coin knows they are achieving what they have decided is the best decision they can make for themselves. There are also honor coins that are given to the members of fire departments, police departments as well as other servants of the people.

The honor coin is usually a coin with a design which represents whatever the receiver serves. If it is a military coin, it will have the squadron or division of the military in which the person is serving. If it is a civil servant honor coin, it may have the city department for the carrier. Regardless of where the coin in given, they are the token that is a constant reminder of the service and honor of being chosen to carry this coin.

Many people have never heard of the honor coin and do not realize the deep meaning this coin has for those who serve. However, those who are in possession of them know very well the true meaning the coin represents. A brotherhood is a form of camaraderie for those who put their lives in danger in order to save others. Putting the safety of others before yourself is the norm for many civil servants as well as military.

When the first coins were introduced it was thought they originated from the branch of service which is known today as the United States Air Force. They were the emblem of honor for those who flew the planes into enemy territory never knowing if they were going to make it back or not.

Today the coins are carried by those who also fly the planes, secure the areas, rescue the fallen and generally make the world a safer place for the majority to live. The true meaning of the coin is felt by the people who put their lives on the line daily.

If you are the son or daughter of a career military father or mother, you will know the story of the honor coin. You will know that this is the bravest thing your parents could ever do for their country. In honor of those who have lost their lives doing the very same thing, there are also honor coins for the families of these brave souls. Putting yourself in jeopardy to protect what you believe is the highest form of service and should always be remembered.

Whether it is as a soldier, a pilot, a policeman, fireman or those who are behind the scenes when disaster strikes, the honor coin will always be remembered as the true meaning of the word integrity.
