"I was stationed at the Pentagon in 2001 until about a month before the 9/11 attacks," said Donald Leingang, USO Puget Sound Area Executive Director and Commander, USN (Ret.). "This challenge coin has special meaning to me, both as a memorial to the brave Americans we lost on that tragic day, and for how this fundraiser is helping the USO and our local military families."

The beautifully designed and crafted 9/11 challenge coin honors the memory of our fallen heroes, and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom.

The words "NEVER FORGET" communicate our resolve to remember the lessons of 9/11, and keep the memory of our fallen American heroes in our hearts forever.

The inner circle includes a 21-gun salute in the form of 21 gun casings, which honor all those who have fallen as a result of 9/11.

On the opposite side, a 3-D relief of the Pentagon supports a soldier's memorial to our troops and reads "HOME OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE." The names of all five service branches also appear on this side.

"IN GOD WE TRUST" is laser etched on the coin's top edge.

The coin is die-struck brass metal with 3-D reliefs, 2" (50mm) diameter, ⅛" (4mm) thickness, antique brass plating, a diamond-cut swirl edge, and every 9/11 challenge coin comes in a soft black velvet pouch.
