The American Veterans Disabled for Life silver dollar is a commemorative coin issued by the United States Mint in 2010. The obverse of the coin was designed by Don Everhart and featuring the legs and boots of three veterans. The coin's reverse was designed by Joseph Menna and depicts a Forget-me-not flower wrapped in a ribbon cradling and supporting clusters of oak branches, with the forget-me-not flower representing (as has been the case since World War I) those who fought and became disabled, while the oak branches represent strength.[1][2]
