Jack gets his challenge coin

Executive Director Jack Paxton and MajGen. Richard "Boomer" Milstead

When MajGen. Richard “Boomer” Milstead pinned on his second star last July, I reminded the former Director of Information that he owed me a new challenge coin to replace the one he had given me in Los Angeles several years ago, when he was a Brigadier and Director of Information.  The-now Commanding General, Marine Corps Recruiting Command owned up May 12 when he visited Orlando, FL to speak to a start-up squadron of the Marine Corps Aviation Association.
