Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Brylea Huitt, a proud native of Dallas, Texas, currently stationed at Naval Hospital Twentynine Palms displays the challenge coins she has collected throughout her career. Challenge coins have a long-standing tradition in military history, believed to date back to World War I, when service members carried coins as symbols of camaraderie and loyalty. Over the years, these coins have evolved into personalized tokens that represent unit pride, special achievements, or moments of recognition. Often given by commanding officers or peers, challenge coins serve as a meaningful reminder of the bonds formed and the milestones reached throughout a service member's career.
