The Red Knights Pennsylvania 2 are selling Challenge Coins.

A little history on the coins back design.
The Lukens Steel Company in Coatesville Pa (now owned by Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.). produced what many of us now know as the "TREES" these were the massive steel finger like pieces that were at the base of the World Trade Center and basically held the buildings up.

The steel left Lukens in 1968 and was never intended to return. Following 9-11 the Houston Foundation made it their mission to bring these back to Coatesville and on April 14, 2010 that mission was complete as truck loads of these trees made there way back to Coatesville Chester County Pa (see you tube link attached of video).

One of these trees now stand as a monument at the Houston foundation and the rest of the trees are part of a tour offered by them.

Chapter 2 is hosting the 2026 Pennsylvania State Association Meeting / Picnic on July 18, 2026, as part of our morning ride we will be visiting the monument in Coatesville.
