Is it just me, or does the "Omar Bradley" sketch look exactly like Ron Paul??? Weird. I think the US Mint needs to find a topic other than the military to commemorate. This is just another of a long line of uninspired and boring designs commemorating military related topics. :dead-horse:
Yeah I was reading about those a couple of days ago. I would buy a MacArthur but I would pass on the others. MacArthur's the man and was one of our last war heros!! :thumb:
The reason i think these leaders are on these coins is to remind some that the only reason you are here and have the right to disagree about this issue is because of the great men and women you see on them today. This is a way america has of showing off its great leaders to others and i myself am proud to see them on a coin that everyone will see as long as our goverment will let us keep real money to use for our debts. Prehaps when the coin gives way to the plastic then you will see something you like more on them the plastic money.
The last war that had anything to do with protecting Americans was World War 2, unfortunately America has become the aggressive fascists in recent years. Very sad to see and I certainly hope we can turn things around before its too late. Piling up enemies by interfering in others business is a surefire way to destroy an empire.
You're dam right, I'm proud as well. These 5 star generals had bravery on their side and we're all very fortunate they did. I am thrilled to death that MacArthur is getting his own coin. Anyone know when they're gonna be sold??
