This bronze version of the silver medal issued through the 2019 American Legion Commemorative Coin Program honors veterans who served in all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.
The obverse (heads side) design portrays a bald eagle spreading its wings as it prepares for flight, suggesting the initiative, determination, and personal courage required by those who choose to serve in our Nation’s Armed Forces. The five stars represent the five branches of the U.S. Armed Services. The inscription “HONORING AMERICA’S VETERANS” encircles the design.
The reverse (tails) design depicts a field of stars symbolizing all American veterans— past, present, and future. A lone incused star below the field represents the veteran who has made the ultimate sacrifice in defending our country. The absence of this star in the field conveys the supreme sense of loss to the Nation. The inscription is “SERVICE AND SACRIFICE.”
