US Navy SAR Swimmer Coin Released at NavyCrow.com

PENSACOLA, Fla. - Jan. 30, 2016 - PRLog -- Today, NavyCrow.com The Premier Navy Pride apparel and memorabilia company is pleased to announce the debut of their latest “challenge coin” dedicated to the U.S. Navy Search and Rescue (SAR) swimmers.

The U.S. Navy SAR swimmers are some of the elite of the Naval Aviation Enlisted Community. The Sailors of the AW enlisted Rating must complete some of the most rigorous training pipelines in the course of their goals. Not only do they swim, but they also must function as a member of the Helicopter Air Crew. The US Coast Guard SAR Swimmers were made famous with the release of the 2006 motion picture The Guardian, starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. Though a “Coastie” film this provided a portrayal of Rescue Swimmer training, and operations. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 both US Navy and Coast Guard SAR swimmers worked alongside to rescue stranded civilians in the flooded City of New Orleans.

The design features a skull wearing the trademark mask and snorkel used by SAR Swimmers in the performance of their duties; representative of these heroes snatching the victim from the clutches of death. The swimmer skull is flanked by swim fins and is surrounded by a rich black background symbolic of the deep dark ocean and unforgiving night sky that the SAR Swimmers must fight in the performance of their duties. Above our swimmer we find the golden Naval Air Crew (NAC) wings in a place of honor high in the heavens. The text “So others may live” is representative of the self-sacrifice that these brave men and women depict in the oftentime impossible task that these Sailors carry out with a smile on their faces! The placement of the wording stretching between the swim fins is in recognition of the sacrifices that these US Navy Sailors have made.
