I don’t mean sweeping or doing errands. I want to do real work on excavation sites, and that sort of thing.

The Roosevelt Medal was issued by President Theodore Roosevelt to Panama canal workers who completed 2 or more years of satisfactory service on the project.

The medals were minted from copper and bronze salvaged from excavation equipment abandon by the French who sold the project to the Americans in 1903, due to bankrupcy.

Each medal supposedly had the name of the recipient inscribed on it. There were thousands issued. There must be a written record of names for the recipients in existence somewhere.
