ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE THINGS I OWN (this collection)

[@lindamoore8138]

Hallelujah. My son has a huge collection of those..after 30 years in the Navy. I have about fifty in my collection. I so cherish them. Hugs and love.

[@lanak.fromnewmexico1143]

My husband passed away last year and had many challenge coins. My daughter took them home with her because she's building a big shadowbox for each of her siblings and herself and wanted to put some in each. Along with some other mementos of his. Thank you Granger for going over to the middle east for the troops. I know they appreciated it. I love how you explain important things like that to your children! God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

What a beautiful thing she is doing for herself and her siblings.

[@lanak.fromnewmexico1143]

@@MrsAlmaTrumble yes. She's very good at that sort of thing and I thought it was a special thing for them to each have something. God bless Mrs Alma 🙏🤗🙏🤗

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@lanak.fromnewmexico1143 that is very sweet of y'all. God Bless you and your family too friend. Hope you're doing well this lovely Thursday.

[@michaelbailey91]

Granger, that that is the most awesome challenge coin collection I have ever seen. I didn’t know about challenge coins until about a couple months ago. My dad served in world war ll, my brother was in Vietnam. I was number 12 on the draft and one week before my physical I was hit by a train. I did not pass my physical because my knee was messed up from the train wreck. I still believe today that God had other plans for me other than the army and maybe go to Vietnam myself. Thank you Granger for serving our country. God bless you and your family. 🙏🇺🇸

[@mm09291]

Granger you should think about building a case to display all of your challenge coins. That could be a good winter project for you and Lincoln to work on. You are an amazing father.

[@mskippi]

The VFW gave me one of these at my Husbands funeral. Thanks for being you to those who gave us Freedom.

[@rebacrow5604]

I just love y’all. Y’all are such a wonderful family that just shows so much love to one another and to others as well. I love to here you preach.

[@kimberlyk418]

Amber you do so much for your family and everyone else. You deserved a quick getaway with your bestie. Everyone needs time to just reset your clock and pamper yourself. Happy Birthday ladies and may all of your wishes come true. Hope you feel better soon Granger. God Bless y’all and your families. Happy Holiday Season and Merry Christmas.

[@Wolfpug]

I have never heard of Challenge Coins. They are beautiful& truly priceless. Hotel Lucy is adorable! So glad you & your BFF got some time alone, Amber. Maverick waving & saying hi is soo cute!

[@maxdula6842]

It makes me happy that both Challenge coins I have given Granger made this episode! It’s nice to know that these mean something to y’all! #StormTrooper

[@janicehaas4618]

Grainger I just want to give you kudos for not letting people's bad comments take your day down so glad you have the Lord on your side

[@davidpeters3138]

Do a video of some of the cool stuff you’ve gotten at meet and greets

[@kellystaiger6238]

Hubby coined you at a meet n greet here in Northern California. Y'all talked planes, that's for sure lol. He flew C-5's and C-17"s. Come to find out at another meet n greet Chris' brother is out here at TAFB. Small world. Thanks for your support. USA

[@terrywilliams8172]

I have to say that your Challenge Coins are extremely special. It brought tears to my eyes when you were teaching Lincoln how you receive a Challenge Coin and about them. Sentimental value is worth way more than any money. Maybe you can take each one, going from design and write down when and where you received it. This information will be so useful for your children and you one day. Hopefully you can store them where you can see the front and back of each one. They’re all just amazing and special. 🇺🇸 Maverick is just so cute. I’m so happy Amber that you took time for yourself and celebrated with best friend. The place where y’all stayed was so darn cute. Hope Granger is feeling better and no one else catches it. This was a great video. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🦋🎈🏎️🦖❤️

[@ZoeyRussell15]

These challenge coins are awesome!!! I wish I had half of them!!! My grandpa started a non profit organization to start an airshow in Monroe, NC to preserve history and teach the younger generations the sacrifices made to live in a free country. He has since passed, but one day I intend to take over after school and continue his legacy! We also have a challenge coin! Warriors and Warbirds (his organization) operates and maintains one of the only flying C-46’s in the world. So the challenge coin has the organization logo on one side and the “Tinker Belle” C-46 on the other!

[@drk_hrs_of23]

I saw a 4 star coin in there. Won’t lose any challenges with that one.

[@cathydecarles7084]

God bless you all and be with you 🙏🏻✝️☮️🎅🎄🤶

[@stankaliski]

The badge you (Lincoln) picked up that looks like the ninja star is from the 57 Maintenance Group (57 mxg) at Nellis AFB, NV (near Las Vegas). The insignia on the front of the coin are (what looks like) the maintenance and munitions badge (9 level - has oak leaves). I had one of these without the oak leaves around the star (7 level). The the rank for Colonel and Chief Master Sergeant. What looks like the blades of the star are the tail of the different aircraft they service. Looks like The A-10 (square looking tail), F-22(?) (trapezoid shaped tail), F-15s (the have the straight back with the thingy at the top), F-16s 'appear' to be the rest. The letters on the tail represent the base the plane is from, my list is old but "WA" is Nellis AFB, "OT" may be Cannon AFB, NM. Not sure on the back of the back of the coin. It may represent the weapons loaders. The men and women that load the stuff that goes BOOM on the aircraft. An old chief I worked with that was in the USAF during Vietnam called them BB stackers. 😆

[@bgrateful453]

Thank you for all of these details! It really is incredible how much of a snapshot of their challenge award is in each challenge coin. Very interesting, thank you.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Amber I am so glad you got to spend time with Your Friend and Granger will be okay while you are having a little time for you 🙏🏻✝️☮️🎅🎄🤶

[@jarrodchannel8778]

I saw a rolling W challenge coin. I severed with the 1011th QMC out of Pittsburgh KS for a year. Then got discharged on a medical. That's a huge collection of challenge coins

[@TheMunchyelena]

Wow! That's a lot of cc. My son collects them. We bought cool little plastic stands they sit in and arrange them on a night stand. So beautiful to see monarch butterflies.... they've disappeared from our area in New England.

[@ednahoogewind5700]

Display cases, albums, etc are available for these coins. Its a great way to honor those that served.

[@pennycowher6328]

Hotel Lucy looks adorable💕 Maverick is growing up so fast. Those coins are awesome my daughter was in the Air Force for about 11 years and she has some of them.

[@bethany.3.0]

Oh my that hotel Lucy looks so fun!

[@debbief2882]

Glad you had a chance to get away, Amber. It is SO important as a young mother.❤

[@Stormlovingphotographer8503]

I encase them on a wooden table with the epoxy. A giant table with them. Would be an awesome tribute.

[@conniebarnes7987]

I loved the many different Challenges👍❤️

[@julieleppert5679]

I love your new album so much! I can’t wait to see the movie!

[@fordguy21]

You should put the challenge coins in a huge shadow box on the wall of the guest house or on the gym side

[@nathandarga9149]

Those challenge coins are great. I actually saw one of Granger's concerts in Ramadi, Iraq in 2008. It was on a small stage next to a Green Beans coffee stand, I think it was around Christmas and New Year. I didn't know who Granger Smith was, but if he was willing to come to us, I wanted to make sure I attended his concert. I remember it being a great time of relaxing and sipping on coffee.

[@courtneykreider9968]

That’s so awesome you played for our soldiers my husband was in Iraq in 05. He has a collection of coins to.

[@juliecohen9041]

happy Thursday to everyone one more until the weekend have a great weekend be safe everyone

[@AlineJoyGoodchild]

Lincoln's joy over Granger sharing the challenge coins was wonderful. Maverick is such a happy soul. Amber what an amazing birthday. Praying Granger is feeling better. Love n Blessings y'all.

[@jackmacjr]

Grainger , thank you for all you have done for the vets and serving person's military and civilian . I just watched this video where you showed your older boy your collection of your challenge coins . Some I recognize and some I actually have but as I watched you and your son I could actually hear your voice catch as you described to your son where they came from and what they mean to you . Thank you for sharing this with us !...!...!

[@kbrown813]

The challenge coins!! I remember when you brought those out for London and Lincoln at the last house at the dining room table! So cool! The barn progress is looking amazing! I really really hope (I’ve been praying) that I’ll be a guest in the Smith barn! What a fun night for Christina and Amber at the Lucy Hotel! Loved the episode (sorry, I’m so behind on commenting but I have watched all the episodes)!

[@marycoker99]

Hotel Lucy was so cute 😍! Glad, you got a little break to spend with your friend ! Have a blessed 🙏 🤗 and wonderful evening! ❤️

[@j-rodjl4569]

The one that looks like a throwing star that has the edges around it. This is what my dad and brother said. Both served in Afghanistan. Bottom left is in the eagle which represents a colonel in the military. The bottom right is a chief master sergeant in the Air Force . The top is maybe a squadron emblem Jake, what are you? From the 57th Maintenance Group for the Air Force It's the Commander and Chief coin that is given to someone that did something good or special. I copy and pasted. It means you did a great thing Granger! God Bless!

[@bgrateful453]

Fascinating, thanks for these details.

[@dianestoddard9085]

Those challenge coins are amazing. I knew you had a lot but wow! What a collection 😍 Priceless is right. I'm so glad you're continuing to teach the kids the things that truly matter ❤

[@1OldBuzzard]

The "Ninja star" coin is an Air Force coin and the points sticking out are actually vertical stabilizers from different types of aircraft. I don't know who's coin it is, but I did recognize an F-16, A-10, F-15, and one other I know, but can't recall. Old age is a blessing. LOL Love the videos of the family and the kids. Our grandkids are just a bit south of y'all in Pflugerville but we haven't seen them in a couple of Christmases. We keep praying for that to change though. Love y'all.

[@jackibrown5215]

Those would be beautiful against a black background, enclosed in a glass case. You made a difference in order for those men and women to give these to you. ❤

They are all amazing but the FDNY was probably one of my favorites. Been a volunteer firefighter since July 2002, I'm 36 now and wouldn't give it up for anything, once it's in your blood your hooked, lol.

[@billwelch3421]

The one from USAF looks like it was a coin from a squadron commander (Col.) and Senior Enlisted Advisor the CMSgt. Can I send you one at the address listed in the description. It is a Texas coin. I designed in 1981 at 96th Security Police Sq, Dyess, AFB, Abilene, TX. The original meaning behind the challenge coin was for identification purposes if you were outside the wire and needed to get back in the perimeter. Originally carried by Air Pilots in the event they got shot down.

[@RevolutioXxNx]

I'm pretty sure if you wanted to take London to the hotel they would allow it since you're her mother . I think the 18 and up means to actually rent a room. It is lovely though but I would take her ! #motherdaughterouting

[@TheSmithsTV]

There are no kids or pets allowed on the property, but they have a house down the street that allows it and it’s just as cute!

[@RevolutioXxNx]

@@TheSmithsTV well shucks, you can take her when she's 18 then, I've never heard a place be like that, interesting though
