HERO MEDALS SOLD AS KATRINA RELIEF FUNDRAISER
The Hurricane Katrina catastrophe created legions of victims and
also enabled untold numbers of ordinary citizens to become heroes,
putting their own lives in peril to save the lives of others. In time, a
number of these heroes will be given recognition for their deeds. The
Carnegie Hero Fund Commission has been recognizing heroic deeds
for over a century. The distributors of a special version of the
Carnegie Hero Medal have announced that profits from the sale of
the medal will be donated to Katrina relief funds. From the firm's
press release:"Cybercoins.net will donate 100% of all profits from the sale of
Carnegie Hero Fund Medals during the months of September
and October to the Salvation Army.Originally, this stunning, historic medal was made available
exclusively to a select group of Carnegie Hero Fund (CHF)
Commission dignitaries. However the CHF Commission
decided to make a total of 450 of these spectacular proof
specimens available to the public. Each bronze medal has a
brilliant proof silver finish, is individually numbered on the
rim, and comes with a certificate of authenticity hand-signed
by the president of the CHF Commission."For images of the medal, specifications and ordering information, see: Images
