<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 994327, member: 24633&quot;]What alterations did they ask you to make? Since the VA is a nationwide governmental agency, is it appropriate to have Winston-Salem, North Carolina on it? What do the 5 stars above the eagle represent?</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;TO CARE FOR HIM WHO SHALL HAVE BORNE THE BATTLE AND HIS WIDOW, AND HIS ORPHAN&quot;..........I doubt that the VA would want this on a coin. Please, I don&#039;t mean to be offensive, but this is a very sore subject for me. My Dad was screwed out of 100% disability for 50 years following WWII and wasn&#039;t finally awarded 100% (non-retroactive, of course!) until a little more than a year before he died in 1997. At one of his numerous appeal hearings, my Mom also witnessed a VA employee throwing his paperwork into a trash can. I wonder how many times this happened before this and to others as well!</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is a concept coin, it should have &quot;IN GOD WE TRUST&quot;, &quot;E PLURIBUS UNUM&quot;, the date/mm and the denomination on it. If it is supposed to be a medal, it&#039;s a different story.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the eagle, too!</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
