In 2004 Camp Edwards closed and preperations were made to transfer ownership of the facility to the Republic of Korea. This tranfer was completed in 2005. Mention of this shift was made in US-ROK Land Partnership Plan in 2002, when the expected date of closure was 2007. At the time the plan was for the fuel facility at Camp Edwards to be maintained by the US Military until the closure of Camp Greaves and Camp Giant, both planned to be closed in 2011. These facilities were also closed in 2004. Camp Edwards had 61.5 acres, and hosted the 82nd Engineer Company. Camp Edwards was named after Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant First Class Junior D. Edwards. More than 130 American servicemen were awarded the Nation's highest honor for actions during the Korean War. Many of those honored names have been bestowed on camps and facilities throughout the Republic of Korea. This is a 40mm (1-9/16") diameter brass coin.
