My Dad sent me a picture the other day of my custom built Shadow Box that I received as a retirement gift. It was constructed over several months by LCDR Chris Cederholm in Mashpee MA on Cape Cod. Thanks Chris!
It contains all my medals and awards, ranks held, old glory and other decorations the service likes to adorn a member with as they depart for greener pastures. My service life is still very fresh in my knoggin, but I suspect as the years go by the shadow box will be a constant reminder of a difficult but deeply satisfying 20 years. Maybe someday I'll have it hung in my own house.
But for now it resides on my parents wall to remind them that their youngest kid is a real stud. Thanks Mom and Dad!
