CCSAR President George Stewart presented the Captain and each crew member with a Challenge coin.  The Challenge coin depicts the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) logo on one side and the image of Fort Laurens (an Ohio Revolutionary War Fort) on the reverse side.

Captain and crew were almost as thrilled to receive the coin as the CCSAR members to be briefed about this impressive combat vessel, a key piece of the US military arsenal deployed around the world projecting freedom.
