MAJ Ruths writes: "728th Military Police Battalion Coin. The front of this coin shows the crest of the 728th with the motto 'IN PEACE AS IN WAR'. The reverse shows the Battalion Commander's name (LTC Forrest Newton) and shows the unit patch over two crossed pistols. I received this coin in 1999 when I was a member of this unit at Camp Henry, Korea. The unit is still in the Army, but is no longer in Korea."

Ed. Note: A Google search indicates the unit is currently garrisoned at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
