I'm a retired soldier and amateur numismatist. Geo. Washington's bust on our 25 cents appears the same as his 18th century medal, that is, until the latest version. Why does the current administration hate American history?

@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376 5 месяцев назад

that’s an awesome idea for them to become coins with our real history on them.

I know they didn’t want to be seen as too “European” with military decorations and making the medals was expensive, but it would’ve been awesome to have 2 or 3 more common decorations for bravery and then a Medal of Honor type award that was issued to more people for a longer period. Shame more were not decorated.

Thank you for this video, Colonel. Sir, at the same time I do have a question regarding General Washington. Prior to Revolutionary war, George Washington was a British subject and participated in French and Indian War. Was he awarded by British high command by any medal?

@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376 5 месяцев назад

no, he never got an award from the British.
