挑战硬币荣誉堕落的宾厄姆顿消防员约翰·“ Jr” Gaudet

纪念宾汉顿消防员John“ Jr” Gaudet的努力是如此成功，其组织者正在寻求继续它。

Vestal volunteer firefighter Brenden Horn has seen the success of his effort to memorialize and pay tribute to fallen Binghamton firefighter John “JR” Gaudet and is looking to continue it.

维斯塔尔志愿者消防员布伦登·霍恩（Brenden Horn）看到了他为纪念堕落的宾汉顿消防员约翰·“ Jr” Gaudet纪念和致敬的努力的成功，并希望继续进行。

Horn came up with developing a challenge coin in honor of Gaudet and his family.

霍恩（Horn）提出了为纪念高迪特（Gaudet）及其家人而制定的挑战硬币。

Challenge coins are popular with firefighters and other first responders as collector’s items or mementos to trade and share.

挑战硬币在消防员和其他急救人员中很受欢迎，因为他们是收藏家的物品或交易和共享的纪念品。

Horn says he had 500 produced and sold them all for at least $10 apiece.

霍恩说，他生产了500份，并以至少10美元的价格出售它们。

He says the coins are a small and affordable, yet meaningful way to keep Gaudet’s memory alive.

他说，这些硬币是一种小巧但负担得起但有意义的方法，可以使戈德特的记忆保持活力。

He made sure to first receive the blessing of the Gaudet family and the Binghamton Fire Department.

他确保首先获得Gaudet家族和宾厄姆顿消防局的祝福。

“They loved the idea because it was something that is small, but at the same time, it’s something that you can hold on to and always have with you. You can use it as a golf ball marker, you can use it for a lot of things. It doesn’t have to be just a challenge coin,” said Horn.

“他们喜欢这个主意，因为它很小，但与此同时，这是您可以坚持并始终与您一起的东西。您可以将其用作高尔夫球标记，可以将其用于很多事情。这不一定只是挑战硬币，”霍恩说。

The coins include Gaudet’s badge number, the Binghamton Fire Department logo and the date of his last alarm, February 12, 2025.

硬币包括Gaudet的徽章编号，宾厄姆顿消防局徽标以及他最后一次警报的日期，2025年2月12日。

They cost $10 each, but folks can make additional donations.

他们的价格为10美元，但人们可以捐款额外捐款。

The first batch brought in $5,500 so Horn is ordering 500 more with the hope of raising $10,000 total.

第一批批次带来了5,500美元，因此Horn订购了500美元，希望总共筹集10,000美元。
