The President of the United States of America granted a seal coin to Aurelia Marcu, the wife of the Romanian Second Lieutenant (post mortem) Aurel Marcu who was killed in action in Afghanistan on September 6, 2007, as a sign of gratitude and respect on behalf of the American people, for the sacrifice of the Romanian soldier who lost his life while trying to help his American comrades-in-arms.
