Washington, D.C. - January 23, 2015: Chris Wallace, is the Anchor of Fox News Sunday. Sitting on Wallace's desk are 18 military challenge coins.
"Traditionally, if you were part of a military unit and achieved something noteworthy, the head of the unit would give you a challenge coin, like a medallion, to indicate that. When reporters visit a military installation, they get one as a visitor. I have 18, which I keep on my desk. They’re wonderful memories of adventures I’ve had and people I’ve interviewed. I got my first when I interviewed the head of the Air National Guard in Washington just after 9/11. I parlayed that into becoming the first civilian to go on a Civil Air Patrol (CAP) flight over Washington D.C. at that time."
The objects in Wallace's office in the Fox News D.C. Bureau is a mix of personal, political and celebrity history.
