Those who carry this coin can produce it to show that they have been at the front lines defending American freedom and liberty in every conflict around the world since the Second World War. The infantry is the main land combat force and core fighting strength of the Army - and an Infantryman's job is to engage the enemy on land in defense of the United States and liberty. Recognizing the enormous value of the soldiers who risk their lives to take fire while securing and holding strategic objectives, the War Department established The Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB, better known informally as the Combat Infantry Badge) in 1943. If you or someone you know can say that they were in harm's way in defense of the principles that make America great, this Combat Infantry Badge challenge coin is the ideal coin to carry. The obverse displays the design of the medal. The bar is blue, which is the color associated with Infantry. The musket is adapted from the Infantry insignia of branch and represents the first official U.S. shoulder arm, the 1795 model Springfield Arsenal musket. The oak symbolizes steadfastness, strength and loyalty. The reverse features an area suitable for engraving with the name or related information of the infantryman to carry the coin, as well as the Army motto, "This we'll defend." *****Engraving will be in All Capitalized Letter for Text*****
