Hello OMSA Community,
I hope this message finds you all well. I am excited to start a discussion thread dedicated to uncovering and sharing the lesser-known stories behind some of the rarest military medals in our collections.
We often focus on the physical aspects of the medals—design, origin, and rarity. However, I believe the true value lies in the stories of bravery, sacrifice, and extraordinary circumstances that these medals represent. I invite you all to share:
The most intriguing backstory of a medal you own or know about. Personal experiences of acquiring medals with unique histories. Insights from historical research that shed light on the recipients and their acts of valor. I'll kick things off with a story about a medal I recently added to my collection—a rare World War I bravery medal awarded to a soldier who single-handedly held off an enemy advance despite being severely wounded. The medal itself is fascinating, but the soldier's incredible courage under fire is what truly makes it priceless.
Looking forward to hearing your stories and learning more about the rich history behind our collections! You can find more: https://hillclimb-racing.com Best regards,
