December 15, 2011

Medal of Honor Commemorative Coints

I just got back from our company’s annual holiday party for staff, board members and VIPs, where we distributed these fabulous commemorative coin gift sets recognizing the 150th Anniversary of the Congressional Medal of Honor, courtesy of the US Mint and the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. The CMOH Foundation is co-chaired by Bruce Whitman, the CEO of Flight Safety International, and a recent Veterans Advantage TopVet, who we also honored at our event.

Let me tell you – they make great gifts, and family heirlooms.

Scott’s View: Paul “Bud” Bucha: An American Original

They say the best friendships are the ones that remain unchanged no matter how many years pass. I can truly say that about Paul W. “Bud” Bucha. A Medal of Honor recipient for valor he demonstrated in 1968, he assisted in the founding of WeSalute, when it was known as Veterans Advantage, 20 years ago.

He was an Army brat, a competitive swimmer, a graduate of both West Point and Stanford, an infantry captain. He arrived in Vietnam in November 1967 commanding D Company -- the “Clerks and Jerks,” they were called -- the last company formed when the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division adopted a four-rifle company configuration.
