Where can I find a Tinker AFB challenge coin?

My recruiter collects challenge coins for his desk at the office and had asked me to pick him up one from Tinker (in MWC,OK) since I go up by that area to visit family. I was wondering if there’s a shop somewhere there on base where I could pick one up or if maybe there’s somewhere nearby I could get one? I have tried looking online for one without any success,but if someone could reccomend a site that carries them for that base that would be awesome too ! =)

What is the speech given when presenting a challenge coin?

I’ve heard several different officers give the same monologue while presenting a challenge coin to a soldier, even though these officers have never met. Is there some sort of standardized or widely accepted speech when presenting a challenge coin or is this just coincidence? If there is, what is it?
This speech was when the commanding officer or other high ranking official was first presenting the challenge coin to an individual, not challenging an existing coin holder or group of coin holders.

The nature of the speech was something along the lines of how and why challenge coins are given in the military, and then some sort of "I present this coin to you…" bit after that.
