Got an invite out to a co workers parents today that has some foundation on the property and check out what popped up. Here's a little Wikipedia for ya on it.

-The Mexican Border Service Medal was a United States military award which was established by an act of the United States Congress on July 9, 1918. The medal was awarded for service between May 9, 1916 and March 24, 1917, or with the Mexican Border Patrol between January 1, 1916 to April 6, 1917.

The medal recognizes those military service members who were assigned to the U.S.-Mexico border at the period of time when the United States was on the verge of all-out war with Mexico.[1] The United States was then engaged in the Pancho Villa Expedition, a military operation conducted by the United States Army against the paramilitary forces of Mexican revolutionary Francisco "Pancho" Villa from March 14, 1916, to February 7, 1917, during the Mexican Revolution 1910—1920.

Congrats on that cool medal. Seems to be somewhat related to the current politics.
 

You think maybe it was dropped while chasing someone who was trying to climb the WALL??
Congrats on a cool find.
