Hey Guys,

Just thought I would share pictures of this medallion/medal that I received as an heirloom from my grandfather after his passing. His father was the Assistant to the Eastern Superintendent of the PRR that worked out of Harrisburg. Ironically the man who was my father's boss was also the grandfather of my Uncle (by marriage). Since my great-grandfather fought during WWI he received this medal for his service.

This piece is truly amazing and is something I will hold onto and hopefully pass down to my future generations.
