I have sent an email out to all of those who purchased or
expressed an interest in the AEL 16 coin. These are early days so
updates will be sure to follow soon.
STORY BEHIND THE COIN
When the AEL16 tragedy happened I felt completely
helpless. I spent days trying to come to terms with what had happened and then
started thinking of ways that I could help. Not only help myself, but everyone
who has been touched by this loss, and especially those family members left
behind.
As a result, I decided to mint a "challenge coin" in memory our loved ones onboard AEL 16.
Now that many people are experiencing similar feelings as a result of the AEL 76 tragedy, some people at Air Evac decided a new memorial coin would be in order.
ABOUT THE COIN
The proof will be posted as soon as it is completed.
100% of the proceeds will go to the families of those lost. The funds will be deposited into any trust accounts that may be set up.
The coin will be 1.75" in diameter, a "high gloss" silver base with color on both sides.
Pricing is estimated to be between $10.00 and $20.00 per coin inclusive of shipping.
