I Was There — Tet ’68 “Forever Brothers” Vietnam Veteran Commemorative Medallion

For the memories that remain and the brothers never forgotten.

This double-sided commemorative medallion honors Vietnam veterans whose stories are connected to Tet 1968. A solitary soldier on one side and a memorial on the other connect personal experience with enduring remembrance.

🎖️ Front Design | A Story Carried Through the Years

A soldier stands with his back to the viewer, overlooking a layered tropical landscape. His pack, uniform, and equipment are carefully detailed against a large, flowing American flag.

The inscriptions “I WAS THERE” and “TET ’68” frame the scene. Beneath them, “SOMETIMES I’M STILL THERE” gives the design a deeply personal, reflective voice.

🕊️ Reverse Design | Forever Brothers

A battlefield cross stands at the center of a river-and-jungle landscape, with two helicopters above the distant hills. Gold-tone laurel branches rise around the boots, framing the memorial.

The inscriptions “VIETNAM VETERAN,” “TET • 1968,” and “FOREVER BROTHERS — NEVER FORGOTTEN” express the connection between service, brotherhood, and remembrance.
