No, not COIN as in Counterinsurgency, though we do that too. Coin as in challenge
coin -- you know, those little things the Army has been flinging around for many years and the Marine Corps eventually glommed onto as well, and now they're everywhere. Well, they're finally here now, too.
For your donation of $50, we'll send
you a freshly minted SWJ Challenge Coin as a thank you gift. Wield it with the vigor and flair appropriate to its magnificence. For those interested in such details, these are 1 3/4" coins, the perfect size, not too tiny and not too big. Just like most wars.

Come on you guys. Let's think about what would happen if SWJ went dark for a week or two or forever. We all take so much from this site and the burden for running this rests on the shoulders of so few. Take some time and make a contribution. Reminds me of the song lyrics "Don't know what you got till it's gone"
Let's not wait until after we lose SWJ to figure out how good we have it.
