Fw: Ethan in the Oval Office

[jsimo...@aol.com]

Ethan Childers had another adventure as a member of the Marine Corps Silent Drill Team.

They were coined in the Oval Office. See link below.

 In the military, to be coined means to be formally recognized for outstanding service, achievement, or contribution by receiving a challenge coin. This coin, typically bearing the unit’s insignia, logo, or motto, is presented by a senior leader, often the unit commander, as a mark of respect and appreciation. Receiving a coin is a significant honor and symbolizes membership within a particular unit or organization, as well as acknowledging exemplary performance beyond the call of duty.  

Now he has one from the Oval Office.

Quite Cool.

It was the coolest! Steph was hanging out with me last night when I showed her that the Silent Drill Platoon was being brought into the White House. She poured through the video and saw Ethan’s chin from the back while they were filing into the Oval Office. And then we watched all the different videos and views! She knew it was him! It was very exciting and made his family proud.
