watch fob

I'm pretty sure the fob depicts a scene associated with the incident between the U.S. and Mexico in the early part of the century.

Lacking the authority to grant Mayo's demands, Zaragoza forwarded them to Huerta. While he was willing to issue the apology, he refused to raise and salute the American :usaflag: as Wilson had not recognized his government. Declaring that the salute will be fired, Wilson gave Huerta until 6:00 PM on April 19 to comply and began moving additional naval units to the Mexican coast. With the passage of the deadline, Wilson addressed Congress on April 20 and detailed a series of incidents that demonstrated the Mexican government's contempt for the United States.

A nice relic. :clapping:
