Fine Silver Coin - Devil’s Brigade (2013)
Fine silver coin celebrates military pride for Canada and the U.S.!
During World War II, Canada joined forces with the United States to create the First Special Service Force—the first and only time both nations would be seamlessly combined in training, equipment and uniform. Although it was only operational for two years, this elite combat unit demonstrated the power of united national forces against a common foe—and consequently became the forerunner to distinguished Canadian and U.S. units including Canada's Joint-Task-Force 2 and the United States' Navy Seals, Delta Force and Green Berets.

A worthy memorial

A perfect gift for a veteran of the FSSF, a family member, or military buff. The veterans of the Force (before that meant something else) stayed connected over the years at annual reunions, alternate years in Canada and the US. I met many of them over the years. Ordinary men who accomplished extraordinary things. My father passed away in 1999. He would have been pleased.

I own many coins from the Mint. Each of them are of the very highest quality. I display my coins to friends and family. Each coin I choose has a message that I want to communicate to future generations.

Outstanding Memorial to the
5
As President of the First Special Service Force (the Devil's Brigade), I used this coin as a presentation gift to an American on our Force Executive who had done a great deal of work with the US Senators who backed the Bill to have the Force awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. He was very pleased with the commemorative coin and I was proud to present him with such an attractive gift.

Honouring True Canadians

This was a great coin to present to honour service members (military) I think an entire series could be created representing the various military branches Army, Navy, Airforce and even special commemorative coins for world destination which our women and men have served. I for one would buy these collections in honour of our military and veterans who have secured our way of life. Geoffrey Sutton
