Medallion Hunt

CLUE #1

The Medallion Hunt has begun

And we’d like for you to join the fun

Uncle Sam likewise wants you to enlist

Follow these rules, they cannot be missed

Do not destroy, deface or dig around

Limit your searching to public ground

Daily clues will lead to the treasure you seek

Find it, and you will have $500 more this week

Clue #2

Betsy would be so proud of Jace’s theme

To her, American Made is more than just a dream

She put her nimble talents to good use

Creating a symbol to mass-produce

Originally, she stitched only 13 onto blue

Now 37 more decorate this same hue

As you search for this five-point object constructed out of metal

Give homage to the servicemen and women refusing to settle

Flying high with all its splendor

Pike’s donation helps us to remember

We enjoy living in the land of plenty

Because of sacrifices made by many

Clue #3

All gave some, and some gave all

More than just a plaque upon a wall

Americans from all across the region

Forging together, creating a legion

Moving in the same direction

Oftentimes providing protection

Your posted assignment is far more frivolous

Locating the medallion is your stimulus

Clue #4

Some battles are fought from home,

Others from abroad

These servicemen and women

We should reverently applaud

Some organizations provide

Assistance or even recognition

For these deserving veterans

And all of their ambition

We rally 'round the families

Uniting in celebration and in grief 

The effects of war are everlasting

Leaving many in disbelief

Clue #5

Remembrance can be shown in many ways

Some might prefer a somber celebration

While others enjoy getting together

Or even creating an event for jubilation

Yes, remembering can take on any form

It can be done in prayer or by wish

Just ask Jerry’s family for they know

That it can even involve fish
