Fort Benning Challenge Coins
Show Your Pride With Custom Fort Benning Challenge Coins
There are hundreds of U.S. Army bases stationed around the globe. Each one is special and serves a unique purpose within the branch of the military they serve. Life and recreation activities are also different on each base. With these variations between bases, it’s no wonder that soldiers feel a strong connection to the bases where they were trained or where they’ve served. With a history spanning back 100 years, and as the only base responsible for the training of Army Infantry Soldiers, Fort Benning in Georgia is one base to which soldiers have especially strong ties. Such loyalty can best be rewarded with a custom military challenge coin.
At Signature Coins, we understand the value of loyalty and the bonds built and strengthened over time. For over 15 years, we’ve worked with each branch of the U.S. military to provide them with top quality custom challenge coins. We know how challenging it can be to fight for your country, and we think the very least we can do to show our appreciation for the men and women in uniform each day is to create great coins they’ll be proud to display for the rest of their lives.
What Are Fort Benning Challenge Coins?
Military challenge coins are roughly as old as Fort Benning itself. Both the famous Army base and the challenge coin tradition began in WWI. As legend has it, the first challenge coins were created by a rich lieutenant and given to the soldiers in his squad to represent their belonging to the team. The coin saved a soldier’s life when, trapped behind enemy lines, it was the only item he possessed that proved his identity as an ally to the people who found him. Because of the insignia on the coin, he was able to rejoin his squadron.
While the infantry and other Army soldiers who have been trained on the grounds of Fort Benning have certainly gone on to acquire challenge coins signifying a number of different career milestones and in recognition of service achievements, how many have received coins celebrating the historic base itself?

How Fort Benning Challenge Coins Might Differ From Other Military Challenge Coins
Historically, challenge coins have been given by superior officers to soldiers in recognition of certain career milestones and stellar service in the call of duty. While they’ve always served to represent the soldier’s belonging on the team, they’ve also been seen as great honors.
Fort Benning is a unique place in the sense that not only are soldiers trained there, but servicemen and women and their families also live, work and play on the base. The Villages of Benning offer unique housing options to military members and their families. Six schools on the base serve to educate the children of soldiers and prepare them for college and careers within or outside of the military. The area is also home to a number of different restaurants and family-friendly recreational activities. In their downtime, soldiers and their families can enjoy activities such as camping, sports, boating, archery, hiking and much more. Fort Benning is more than just a military base, it’s a community.
