Description On the morning of September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The attacks resulted in the creation of the Transportation Security Administration, designed to prevent similar attacks in the future. Driven by a desire to help our nation, tens of thousands of people joined TSA and committed themselves to strengthening our transportation systems while ensuring the freedom of movement for people and commerce. In the many years since the September 11th attacks, the Department has marshaled this collective vision to face new and emerging threats against the Homeland. Perhaps most importantly, they forge partnerships to strengthen public, private, and international cooperation and crowd-sourcing solutions. The adhesive medallion salutes those that protect our nation’s transportation systems and ensure freedom of movement. This coin is struck in an antique finish and has colorful enamel highlights. The adhesive back allows this medallion to be affixed to any painted, metal or glass surface. We do not recommend affixing adhesive medallions to the exterior of moving vehicles. Each coin measures 1.75″ (44mm) in diameter.
