Honoring Lt. Frank Luke Jr.:
- Commemorative challenge coin marking the 100th anniversary of Medal of Honor winner Lt. Frank Luke’s death (1918). Luke, a native Arizonan, was the leading American Ace with 18 aerial victories and the first Air Force Medal of Honor recipient. The coin was minted for the group of Phoenicians who traveled to Murvaux, France, and visited his grave at the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery.
- Garden banner of the American flag
Perfect for veterans, military families, aviation enthusiasts, history buffs, or anyone who values the legacy of service and international partnership, this collection blends heritage, honor, and display-worthy craftsmanship.
A meaningful tribute to those who flew — and to the courage and legacy that echo across generations and nations.
