I don't know if this is the right section to post this, but here goes: I was in Hobby Lobby the other day and found a 30"x40" shadow box display. I thought this would be amazing to hang in my guest room with a spare M1 Garand in it, along with various Appleseed memorabilia or flags. I was thinking I'd put a red hat in there, my shot up orange hat, and my old AQT that I first scored 211 on. But I'm open to specifics like what else to include, and more importantly how to arrange it. I believe the Garand is 43" long, so it would have to be somewhat diagonal. What flags if any, and how folded and where placed? Any other suggestions?

maybe your first t-shirt. Mine had blood stains on the elbows for about a year before they washed out and I wore the shirt out. I think my wife sewed one of hers into a quilt.

I used to pick up a small rock from various ranges, and write the name date on them.

pocket constitution, bloody butchery poster, photos.

When you get it completed, please try and get a really good photo of it and maybe we can even use it for promo.

"We have always looked upon men as a set of beings naturally free - that a people can never be divested of those invaluable rights and liberties which are necessary to the happiness of individuals, to the well-beings of communities or to a well regulated state, but by their own negligence, imprudence, timidity or rashness. They are seldom lost, but when foolishly forfeited or tamely resigned." ~Jonas Clarke

Put your retired Red Hat in there (once it is faded from the sun, sweat stained).

Are we not assuming a lot there, boss? I heard you have to be really smart to get a green hat. I mean, they don't just give them to anyone...

if you go with the "break glass in case of emergency" you will need a bandoleer of  loaded enblock clips
