About This Item

This geocoin is a creation of Oakcoins and has a write-up from www.geoswag.com. Here is what was offered:

Geocoin - Unknown Soldier
Description:Unknown Solider Geocoin
Oakcoins will donate $1.00 for each coin sold to Fisher House.
Finish: Antique Silver and Nickel
Trackable at geocaching.com and has its own icon

As we are stationed at Fort Campbell, KY, I felt it was only fitting to mention the newly opened Fort Campbell Fisher House.

Fisher Houses are comfortable homes that serve as a temporary residence near a military or VA medical facility where family members can eat, sleep, relax and find support from other families in similar situations. There are currently 37 Fisher Houses world-wide.

The Fisher House…

Other interest facts:

Provides a comfortable and caring temporary home for active-duty service members, retired service members and their families.
Families stay at no cost.
Any family member of an active duty or retired service member who is being treated at Fort Campbell’s Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH) is eligible to stay at the Fisher House.
Has eight family suites, a large functional community kitchen, dining room, family room and a laundry room and within walking distance to the post hospital.
Does not take room reservations and room availability is on a first come-first serve basis.
Charitable contributions are an important part of the success of all Army Fisher Houses. Gift cards from local restaurants, retail outlets such as Target and Wal-Mart and prepaid calling cards are always welcome. Cash donations provide a valuable source of funding for residents.

G'Day My Fellow Geocacher, I’m DARKSIDEDAN aka Daniel from Canberra, Australia and I have had the pleasure of finding your Trackable Item during my travels as a Geocacher. I have added this trackable to my growing list of discovered items. I love discovering Geocaches, Trackable items and collecting Pathtags. I hope that you enjoy Geocaching as much as I do. For me geocaching is a way of life. When I am not Geocaching, I am thinking of Geocaching. I would like to say a very big thank you for releasing your trackable for the Geocaching Community. Here is a little information about me. I have been geocaching since 2015. At the time of finding this cache I have over 5600 finds plus 340 hides. I am the creator of the “Duck Dip” Lab Cache that won 2nd Place for the Australian Capital Territory in the State Vs State - Battle of the Lab Caches at the OzGeoMuster - The Gong Mega 2019 in Wollongong, Australia. Now let’s talk Pathtags. Currently I have over 4600 Pathtags in my collection plus about 500 Etagz. I currently have two of my own Pathtags (45762 & 46950) with another one in the works. In 2019, I won the right to place a Virtual 2.0 Cache from Geocaching.com, but I have not placed it yet. I am just trying to find somewhere that is worthy of a Virtual Cache. Here is an Original and One of a Kind, Geocaching Poem that I have written. I hope that everyone who reads it gets some enjoyment out of it. Geocache Poem by DARKSIDEDAN My endless search goes on and on Looking for treasures of every kind Always chasing just one more find Putting past DNF’s out of my mind I step out into the world outside, Seeking what is hidden from me What size, shape or form will it be? Only time will tell, I can’t wait to see Will I find my prize at the end? I will search in the failing light and cold Filling with despair having looked everywhere Where is this thing that gives my life pleasure? Looking all around from every angle I read the logs and check the hint I curse out loud as I walk in circles Screaming the bloody thing it not there As time flies by and I fail to see, Never once stopping to realize It always been there before my eyes No need for sorrow, there’s the Geocache.
