About Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran 2003-2011 Bronze
Confronting the threat posed to the world by Iraq's dangerous dictator, the U.S. Military launched Operation Iraqi Freedom on March 20, 2003. In command of a multi-national coalition, America's Armed Forces spearheaded a massive military campaign designed to oust Saddam Hussein from power and liberate the people of Iraq from his oppressive rule. Exhibiting lightning-fast speed and overwhelming power, U.S. led forces unleashed a simultaneous air and ground assault that utterly crippled the enemy's defenses, enabling the Allies to swiftly advance toward their final objective. Seizing control of the Iraqi capital on April 9, 2003, American forces officially declared the end of Saddam Hussein's brutal regime, ushering in a new era of Iraqi independence. This coin salutes the success achieved by America and its Allies in the skillful execution of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Symbolizing the major partners in the "Coalition of the Willing," the coin's obverse features a montage of the American, British, and Australian flags. The reverse bears the official crest and shield of the U.S. Air Force. Struck in a brass alloy and finished in antique bronze, this coin is imbued with brightly colored enamel on both sides. Each coin comes packaged with a detailed header card.
