MAJ Ruths writes: "D company, 302nd Brigade Support Battalion Coin. This is the smallest coin of the bunch (coins given to Maine Troop Greeters in March 2014.), is gray/silver in color, and is shaped like South Korea. This coin is from 2006 for a unit stationed at Camp Hovey, Korea. One side features US and Korean flags, shows a tiger coming through a dragon, and states 'DRAGOONS' (the company moniker) on it. The reverse side shows the unit crests for the 302nd Brigade Support Battalion, 4-7 Cavalry (who this unit supports) along with the different Army branches that make up the unit.
