2026 Medallion Clues

1. Enjoy the lyrics from George M. Cohan {1917} as we decipher these clues.

“Johnny, get your gun, get your gun, get your gun,

Take it on the run, on the run, on the run.

Hear them calling you and me?

Everyone for Liberty.

Hurry right away, go today, no delay,

Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad,

Tell your sweetheart not to cry,

To be proud her boy’s in the line.”

Your hunt begins where our town might gather, where autumn colors and community collide.

Only search where the public is welcome,

Don’t dig, damage, or destroy…keep your momentum.

A soldier knows that standing still, won’t ever get you where you need to go.

So take your time and study the ground, there are things the hurried never know.

2. “Over there, over there,

Send the word, send the word over there.

That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming,

The drums rum-tumming everywhere.

So prepare,

Say a prayer.

Send the word, send the word to beware.

We’ll be over, we’re coming over

And we won’t come back til it’s over, over there.”

He answered the call when his country needed him, leading with courage, honor and might.

He might not be remembered here in our town-but follow his legacy today and tonight.

The year is turning, leaves may fall and daylight begins to disappear.

But every Hero leaves something behind, that grows more visible with every year.
