Two Medal of Honor Recipients have gone above and beyond and each have donated two watches each to the Once Upon a Time Watch Auction.
The Brian LaViolette Foundation has been proud to establish scholarships in both of their names. The Robert Foley Scholarship of Honor has been awarded at West Point since 2008. The Sal Giunta Scholarship of Honor is awarded at Sal’s Alma Mater at JFK High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Since 2012, the scholarship has been awarded annual and pays tribute to the soldiers he tried to save, SGT Josh Brennan and SPC Hugo Mendoza. It will continue Sal’s legacy and allow SGT Brennan and SPC Mendoza's spirit to live on.
The Guess Men's Sport Blue Dial wristwatch in stainless steel with stainless bracelet features a 42mm wide and 12mm thick solid stainless steel case. It is powered by a precise quartz movement with big date display functions and is water-resistant to 100 meters.
The Commemorative 50th Congressional Medal of Honor (MOH) Society Quartz Watch was presented to Lieutenant General Foley in 2008. It is an exceedingly rare 30mm, showcasing thirteen stars on the dial. Only 110 living MOH recipients were presented this watch in 2008.
In addition to the two watches, this lot includes General Foley’s personal challenge coin, a beautifully signed Portraits of Valor book, a full-color autographed 8 x 10 photo, a signature card, and an official copy of his Medal of Honor Citation. You can bid on both watches and the package here.
