2018 Official White House Gift Shop Ornament® Commemorates

President Donald J. Trump's

Return of American Hostages from North Korea and the Korea Peace Talks

Commemorative with Symbols of All Three Countries and All Three Leaders

Coming Closer to Peace and Celebrates the Act of Communication Among Countries

From Our CEO Regarding the Media Sensation Over the Coin Representing the Korea Peace Talks

Our sister coin project to the 2018 White House Gift Shop® Official Christmas and Holiday Ornament is generating sigjificant media attention as well as an outpouring of support from American and Korean people.

Following is a copy of a recent post in response to inquires from customers, supporters and media.

We've answered many calls and communications. Our first Korea Peace Talks series medallion coin is similar in all key design aspects to the WHAC 250 advance military challenge coins and entrusted to the same gifted designer as the WHAC 250. Our project was planned as a larger commemorative event for President Trump's second year and a visual recitative of his unprecedented early successes as President of the United States including the economy, victory over ISIS, jobs, 401K gains, tax cuts, U.S. stocks, his masterful return of three American held in North Korea, and so much more.

When news broke that the advance military contingent's coin was specifically from The White House Gift Shop, of necessity, we needed to state facts - not speculation. The coin offered here is the Korea Peace Talks and eventual, we pray, Summit Commemorative. The coin is quite similar to the advance contingent's 250 challenge coin and is entrusted to the visions of the same gifted designer.

Our forthcoming second coin in the series will commemorate President Trump's second year, his success in obtaining the release of three American hostages from North Korea, expansive Peace Talks, and in this regard includes raised images of President Donald J. Trump, South Korea President Moon Jae-in, and North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jung-un. The coin's design will be fine-art bas-relief with iconographs of America, South Korea, North Korea and their peoples. The national colors and motifs of each country will be prominent with symbolic representations of heroic Americans and Koreans who fought and died on Korean soil. American and Asian symbols will be elegantly used with President Donald J. Trump on coin's obverse with the President of South Korea and North Korea's Supreme Leader on reverse of coin.

Hundreds of magnificent people from South Korea and others including unsuccessful orders from North Korea who wanted to order this commemorative have shared with us in phone calls and in writing their steadfast hopes for peace and denuclearization. They have shared with us that the current coin is a symbol of hope and desire for peace. Americans have shared with us many reasons for wanting this commemorative coin regardless of outcome. Many, so many to be candid, love President Trump, a fact. We will fulfill all orders and plan to release soon this next coin in our United States and Korea collection. While summit talks seem stalled at the moment, as are you, perhaps, I am hopefully optimisitc. We will continue to celebrate through objects of design and art the spirit of peace and harmony confluent with the innate dignity of all humankind. For 75 years, now, this unique original official White House Gift Shop has expressed through many representational products, some fun, many serious, our faith in the Office of the President of the United States.

We steadfastly support in words, actions, and objects of design & art America's current 45th President, Donald J. Trump whose office had no involvement in either the WHCA advanced military contigent 250 or the soon forthcoming WHGS medallions and coins series collection. As a military veteran, myself, challenge coins are special to the 1% who serve in the military to protect the 99%. A gift is endowed with unique engergy and spirit as it passes from the hands of a brother or sister to another who serves and knows. Relative to Korea, I have many memories, for I still have my own father's "Mickey Mouse" boots, giant insulated rubber, winter military boots, from the Korean War and my memories of a favorite uncle, a Silver Star recipient, who carries to this day shrapnel in his neck and spine from combat in Korea.

The current commemorative medallion and its related 2018 Christmas & Holiday ornament, represent a celebration of diplomatic communication and an embrace of all those who want our President to suceed in his steadfast efforts to secure denuclearization of the Koreas and prosperity for America while recognizing other countries have not only a right but a responsibility to seek and secure their own prosperities through peaceful and fair means.

Best regards, Tony Giannini, CEO / Director.
