Captain Hampton’s Challenge Coin
Captain Hampton will begin issuing challenge coins starting July 2006 to qualifying members of The
Hampton’s Battery F. The first criteria to receive this honor you must first be a full member in good
standing and have been active in the unit for at least one year. Secondly, military members who have
demonstrated their dedication and proficiency to the First Sergeant and the Commander will be entitled
to be recognized and a recipient of the coin from Captain Hampton. Thirdly, civilian members must be
active and full members who have demonstrated their faithful resolve by serving the soldier of Hampton’s
Battery F over a one-year period. Fourthly, individuals not of Hampton's Battery F that have provided
exceptional service and are nominated by a majority vote of the membership may be recognized and
receive a coin from Captain Hampton. All recipients of the Hampton’s Battery F challenge coin are
bound by the following rules of ownership: All recipients must maintain the Hampton’s Battery coin in
their possession at any and all meetings of the Battery. Any recipient may (with no notice) request other
recipients to produce the Hampton’s Battery coin by a physical coin challenge (provided the challenger
produces his or her Hampton’s Battery coin as a precursor). If said challenge is not met with a physical
demonstration of the recipient’s coin, the disgraced recipient will honor all in the surrounding locality
(defines as within 30 rods) with a libation of his or her choosing.

I wish to Thank both past and present members for your dedication. Without such members, none of this
would have been accomplished.
Soon, it will be up to the next generation to continue educating the public about the History of Hampton
Battery F and the U.S. Field Artillery.
