religious medallion - 3/26/2008 7:41:52 AM    milliondpi   Posts: 9 Joined: 3/23/2008 From: ohio Status: offline I found this medal just in front of our barn door (our farm was a church camp, hosting revivals in the barn and summer camps for kids - little cabins once were scattered about the land) I was just doing the "poke around with a stick while my dad chatters on" thing I often do and thought I was digging up a key. This medal is about 2.5" tall and pretty heavy.  I believe it is copper.  It shows an angel with a trumpet and "1917 -1919" on the front.  The back is flat and reads "??????? by the citizens of Salem Ohio, July 7, 1919".  I've tried to research what it is, but all I've discovered is a man once living here served in the military from 1917-1919.  Any ideas or guesses?
