Local Vietnam Veteran Alvin Moore, who is battling stage four lung cancer, was recently presented a Marine Corps Challenge Coin by Granville County Veterans Services Officer Rodney Frazier. The challenge coin is used by those in the armed forces as a special token to enhance morale, to give recognition for a job well done or to symbolize brotherhood. To carry a military challenge coin is a widely-respected and time-honored tradition.
Mr. Moore was joined by his wife Jeanette for the presentation.
