MAJ Ruths writes: "B Company, 5-20th Infantry Coin. (Unit name and the image of a Barbarian on the front and a crossed battle axe and mace on the reverse). This ws one of the first coins I ever receive and was from the first unit in that actually had their own coin. The unit was a line Infantry unit on Camp Casey, Korea at that time (1992), but is now a unit at Fort Lewis, Washington. This unit would eventually become B Company, 2-9 Infantry and I served with them again about 13 years later. I was in this unit from 1992 to 1993."
