I like this display. I have been making retirement displays for 20 years. The best is from a salvaged pallet out of teak. Made one about this size. Nice work. Is that a recruiting gold wreath I see??

Not a recruiting wreath, it's the command emblem from Construction Battalion Unit 403, Annapolis, MD. Decommissioned 2005, the chief I made this for was the OIC.

Nice. Fellow builder Seabee. NMCB 133, Gulfport, MS. I'm trying to get inspiration to build a case for an old friend who just passed. I promised his wife I'd get it to her by Labor Day weekend. I want to make one for my dad at the same time. I don't want to wait for him to pass and not see it. I like the addition of the photographs and other memorabilia. Where did you get the Seabee emblem etched glass?
