Challenge Coins
Houston Police Retired Officers Association Challenge Coins can be purchased for $10 each. The proceeds benefit our Surviving Spouses Luncheon. Thank you for all the support.
History of Challenge Coins: Challenge Coins surfaced during the WWII era. The practice of carrying a coin designed specifically for a unit was popular with the Army Special Forces. Carrying the coin at all times and presenting it when "challenged" to prove affiliation with that unit resulted in a number of consequences for those who could not produce a coin - the most popular required the coin less soldier to buy a round of drinks. That practice continues to be popular today.
Need more information call:
Stefanie Leonard @ 713-467-9053 or 713-857-6966.
