2010-W American Veterans Disabled for Life Commemorative Silver Dollar BU

Commemorative Silver Dollar Honors The Sacrifices Made By America’s Disabled Veterans

Millions of Americans have answered the call to serve in our nation’s armed forces to defend our principles of democracy. Those veterans who continue to live with the wounds and scars of their military service should never be forgotten. That sentiment is beautifully reflected on this commemorative silver dollar where the legend reads, “TAKE THIS MOMENT TO HONOR OUR DISABLED DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM.”

Images And Words That Celebrate Our Nation’s Disabled Veterans

Issued in 2010, this one-year-only American Veterans Disabled for Life Commemorative Silver Dollar was struck in highly pure 90% fine silver and features a design that’s sure to pull at the heartstrings. The obverse features an image of the legs and boots of three veterans. The inscription in the banner along the upper rim, “THEY STOOD UP FOR US,” pays tribute to America’s courageous disabled veterans who have survived military service injuries for our freedom.

Besides the poignant legend, the coin’s reverse design depicts a forget-me-not flower at the base of a wreath wrapped in a ribbon that cradles and supports clusters of oak branches. The oak branches represent strength, while the forget-me-not is a widely recognized icon that first served as a reminder of those who fought and became disabled in World War I. The significance of the small blue flowers is attributable to an image conveyed by World War I soldiers who had seen them growing on the graves of comrades and allies who had been killed. After the war, the flower became the accepted symbol for commemorating those who had fallen.
