Mornin fellas!
So a mentor and friend of mine is retiring after 21 years of service as a CW4 from the U.S. Army. Due to “budgeting issues” the unit has decided that this gentleman will not be getting a retirement award/plaque, which I think is a HUGE dis-service to his commitment to his country. I find this rather unacceptable, and am going to take it upon myself to make sure his service is not only recognized, but also memorialized at least in his own home! I would like to see if anyone here has put together something they would be willing to share. I’m not looking for patterns, so much as I am inspiration! To date this will be the most meaningful thing I have built with my two hands, as this gentleman has spent most of his life taking care of soldiers such as myself. If you have ideas I would love to hear them! I am looking to make something that he can hang on his wall with his ribbons/medals and things of that nature and of course display his flag.
Thanks in advance.
