102 year old Medal

I recently acquired a medal won by my Grand Uncle who participated in the Pasadena Rose Parade festivities January 1, 1915. I thought it was kind of neat so I took a picture of it this morning to share. This belonged to my Grand Fathers brother who later became a successful lawyer and lived next door to Bing Crosby.
