During the harsh winter months, the former proprietor of the London Book Store on Cornhill in Boston and now Army Colonel, Henry Knox, transported fifty-nine cannons and mortars from the recently captured Forts at Crown Point and Ticonderoga in western New York to Boston. As soon as this heavy artillery arrived, Washington mounted the cannons on Dorchester Heights overlooking the city. Under the threat of bombardment the British troops fled to Halifax, making Boston the first major city liberated from British occupation. Eight days later, on March 25, 1776, the Continental Congress authorized a gold medal to commemorate this event and appointed a committee of John Adams, John Jay and Samuel Hopkins to prepare a letter of thanks to Washington and to select an appropriate devise for the medal.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46110809522453,"sku":"W1774","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/img_02_d656cea0-fec5-4f8c-8af8-e201ff870911.jpg?v=1692848200"},{"product_id":"wwii-american-elgin-army-ordnance-wrist-watch-w2042","title":"Wwii American Elgin Army Ordnance Wrist Watch","description":"WWII American Elgin Army Ordnance Wrist Watch - Manufactured by Elgin National Watch Company of Elgin, Illinois, with a ruby-jeweled movement, functional, weighing 31 grams with the strap on, for enlisted men and officers.

Their specifications state that they are made to be discarded when they stop running. However, sixty years ago, when WWII was raging, much more was expected from a timepiece. Resources weren't as available, technology was relatively simple and no one could afford to throw anything away. Watches had to be sturdy enough to stand up to the grueling salt, heat and humidity of the Pacific Theater, as well as the numbing cold of the European Campaign. American watch houses ceased civilian production during these years and devoted themselves to producing timing instruments for the war. Elgin, then the largest watch manufacturer in the world, produced bomb timers and fuses, aircraft and tank watches, ship's chronometers, pocket and wristwatches. These watches were issue, meaning the only way they made it back home was on the arms of officers and \"borrowed\" in field packs and ruck-sacks. Most were crushed or buried overseas to keep the market in the United States from being flooded with watches, which would have ruined American watch manufacturers already starved for civilian business. These surviving examples are valuable, not only because they're so scarce, but because they were worn on the wrists of valiant soldiers. The Elgin National Watch Company, most commonly known as just the Elgin Watch Company, was a major American watch maker from 1864 until its closure in 1968. The company sold watches under the names, Elgin, Lord Elgin, and Lady Elgin. For nearly one hundred years, the company's manufacturing complex in Elgin, Illinois was the largest site dedicated to watchmaking in the world.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46111006556437,"sku":"W2042","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/img_02_e6e898d8-75e8-4238-acc3-55edf1ab0898.jpg?v=1692848776"},{"product_id":"switzerland-a-1918-swiss-families-gratitude-medal-w2413","title":"Switzerland.

Ranging from very better than very fine to extremely fine.\n \nFootnote: Each bracelet is engraved, at a minimum, with the name, rank, service, loss date, and country of loss of a missing man from the Vietnam War. The first bracelets were made by Carol Bates (Brown) and come in various finishes. She was the National Chairman of the POW\/MIA Bracelet Campaign for VIVA (Voices In Vital America), the Los Angeles based student organization that produced and distributed the bracelets during the Vietnam War. Entertainers Bob Hope and Martha Raye served with her as honorary co-chairmen. The idea for the bracelets was started by Bates and another fellow college student, Kay Hunter, as a way to remember American prisoners of war suffering in captivity in Southeast Asia. In late 1969 television personality Bob Dornan, who several years later was elected to the US Congress, introduced them and several other members of VIVA to three wives of missing pilots. They thought the student group could assist them in drawing public attention to the prisoners and missing in Vietnam. The idea of circulating petitions and letters to Hanoi demanding humane treatment for the POWs was appealing, as they were looking for ways college students could become involved in positive programs to support US soldiers without becoming embroiled in the controversy of the war itself. The relatives of the men were beginning to organize locally, but the National League of POW\/MIA Families had yet to be formed. During that time, Bob Dornan wore a bracelet he had obtained in Vietnam from hill tribesmen, which he said always reminded him of the suffering the war had brought to so many. They wanted to get similar bracelets to wear to remember US POWs, however, the major stumbling block being that VIVA had no money to make bracelets, although their advisor was able to find a small shop in Santa Monica, California that did engraving on silver used to decorate horses, the owner of the shop agreeing to make ten sample bracelets. Armed with the sample bracelets, they set out to find someone who would donate money to make bracelets for distribution to college students. It had not occurred to the group that adults would want to wear the bracelets, as they weren't very attractive. Several approaches to Ross Perot were rebuffed, to include a proposal that he loan us $10,000 at 10% interest. They even visited Howard Hughes' senior aides in Las Vegas. They were sympathetic but not willing to help fund the project. Finally, in the late summer of 1970, Gloria Coppin's husband donated enough brass and copper to make 1,200 bracelets. The Santa Monica engraver agreed to make them and they could pay him from any proceeds that they might realize. Although the initial bracelets were going to cost about seventy-five cents to make, they were unsure about how much they should ask people to donate to receive a bracelet. In 1970, a student admission to the local movie theater was $2.50. They decided that this seemed like a fair price to ask from a student for one of the nickel-plated bracelets. They also made copper ones for adults who believed they helped their \"tennis elbow.\" Again, according to the group's logic, adults could pay more, so they requested $3.00 for the copper bracelets. At the suggestion of local POW\/MIA relatives, the group attended the National League of Families annual meeting in Washington, DC in late September and were amazed at the interest of the wives and parents in having their man's name put on bracelets and in obtaining them for distribution. On Veterans Day, November 11, 1970, the bracelet program officially kicked off the with a news conference at the Universal Sheraton Hotel. Public response quickly grew, with requests growing to 12,000 a day In addition, they were bringing in money to pay for brochures, bumper stickers, buttons, advertising and whatever else the group could do to publicize the POW\/MIA issue. A close alliance was formed between the creators of the bracelets and the relatives of the missing men: they got bracelets from them on consignment and could keep some of the money they raised to fund their local organizations, as well as being furnished with all the stickers and other literature they could give away. Bates and Steve Frank ended up dropping out of college to work full time for VIVA, to administer the bracelet and other POW\/MIA programs, none of them getting rich off the bracelets. VIVA's adult advisory group, headed by Gloria Coppin, was adamant that the group would not have a highly paid professional staff. In all, VIVA distributed nearly five million bracelets and raised enough money to produce untold millions of bumper stickers, buttons, brochures, matchbooks, newspaper ads, etc., to draw attention to the missing men. In 1976, VIVA closed its doors. By then the American public was tired of hearing about Vietnam and showed no interest in the POW\/MIA issue.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46115658400021,"sku":"W3267","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/twenty_nine_viet_55ba2cbb61849.jpg?v=1692855151"},{"product_id":"a-first-war-entente-alliance-naval-bracelet-w3368","title":"A First War Entente Alliance Naval Bracelet","description":"Sterling silver with red, white, blue, black, yellow and green enamels, illustrating flags of the Entente Alliance nations, including: Serbia, France, the Kingdom of Italy, Belgium, the Imperial Japanese Navy, the Russian Navy Ensign, the United States and the United Kingdom, each of the eight flags linked to a clip on their left side, and when joined together, forms a bracelet.

In 1939, the U.S. Army had four very similar AFVs in service. The infantry had the M2A2 and the M2A3 Light tanks, while the U.S. Cavalry had the M1 and M2 Combat Cars. The light tanks had twin turrets, one mounting a .50 heavy machine gun and the other mounting a .30 machine gun. The Combat Cars had a single turret mounting both machine guns. The last in the series was the M2A4 which mounted a 37 mm gun in the turret with five machine guns (one mounted coaxially and the remaining four mounted in the hull). The M2A4 was, in fact, the prototype for the M3 Light Tank. The M3 included many of the features of the M2A4, but had increased armour protection from 10 mm to 51 mm. Other changes included removing the vision slits from the sides of the turret and a strengthened rear engine deck. With the increase in armour protection, the weight also increased, so the suspension had to be strengthened. The strengthened suspension employed a trailing idler wheel; this increased the contact between the tracks and the ground, thus improving the weight distribution. By installing the new engine, Cadillac had to make so many changes to the hull of the M3 that a new designation had to be given to it. Originally it was to be renamed as the M4, but this would have caused confusion with the M4 Medium Tank (The Sherman). A new designation was therefore given to the tank; M5. The major difference between the M3 and the M5 was in the larger, boxier hull. The same suspension and turret were used; with the same armament of a 37 mm main gun and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m_1217105813862771920gmail-il\"\u003etwo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e .30 machine guns; one mounted coaxially, the other on top of the turret as an anti-aircraft weapon. 8,884 M5s were built in total, including 1,431, which were sent to the British for service in North West Europe. The M3\/M5 Stuart Light Tanks were named the Stuart by the British, but were almost universally known as the \"Honey\". They saw combat with the British in the western desert and by the Allies in Europe. Although they were light tanks designed for reconnaissance, they were occasionally pressed into service as battle tanks when there was a shortage of better tanks. On one famous occasion, during the siege of Tobruk, some M3s were used to bluff the Germans into thinking that a larger formation of tanks was present in the area.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46120248836373,"sku":"W4553","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/dscf2622.jpg?v=1692868892"},{"product_id":"three-american-unit-commendations-w4589","title":"Three American Unit Commendations","description":"Republic of Vietnam Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon (15 mm x 36.7 mm, within a gilt metal frame, dual push pin points); Philippine Republic Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon (14.8 mm x 37 mm, within a gilt metal frame, dual push pin points); and Army Valorous Unit Award (15.3 mm x 36.7 mm, within a gilt metal frame, dual push pin points).
