His desire for normalcy and stability keeps him from taking the leap to discover the truth about his life.

One thing that is true of the desegregation of armed forces under President Truman was that it was done by executive order.

This sounds like a commemorative medal, perhaps the "Inauguration" medallion after assuming the Presidency upon the death of Franklin D. Rosevelt. As such it has no numismatic value, as it is not legal tender. It probably does have "book value" to collectors of Presidential medals, but I'm unfamiliar with price guides for that. (Other FAQ Farmers can edit this last bit to substitute an accurate value. :) )
