"Derring-Do"
Many people have asked us about the meaning of Derring-Do. Frankly we're surprised. Where have you people been? Have you never swashed your buckles? Broadly speaking acts of Derring-Do are bold, adventurous and occasionally a teeny bit reckless. Much Derring-Do is evident in films featuring Errol Flynn engaged in various hazardous activities. You could say that Amelia Aerhart demonstrated Derring-Do when she flew solo across the Atlantic in 1928. That said please don't be fooled into thinking that Derring-Do medals are designed soley for swashbuckling transatlantic pilot types because they're mostly for the less flamboyant but no less fabulous everyday stars in our midst.
