PT-42 Challenge Coin in Silver

The front of this piece features an Arizona flag, with its “Field of Blue” textured in a football jersey mesh pattern. PT-42 was added on top, in the same font that the Arizona State Sun Devils wear on the gridiron. The reverse pays homage to the 2nd Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment that Pat was assigned to. The year of Pat’s birth, and the day he lost his life in Afghanistan are displayed under the the Second Battalion’s Beret Flash. The background is a desert camouflage pattern that was worn by our soldiers at the time of Pat’s final deployment.

The Dog Tag is completed by a quote around it’s coin edge,

“To err on the side of passion is human and right and the only way I’ll live”.
