My small Collection

[Airborne Nut]

Here is what I have so far. I know I know the EK2 Case is a LDO repro, I just bought it cause it looked good. The American collection is mostly WWII although there are some other wars in there. The American Flag was personally flown by me over the Missouri and was at one point over the Arizona memorial. I did this about 4 years ago while in Pearl Harbour. Very cool! They send you certificates authenticating when the flags were flown. Anyway tell me what you think.

A nice little collection there! Congrats...you're off to a good start.

Hey...wait a minute?! Where's the CANADIAN stuff???

A nice set of Canadian WWII medals and badges would look pretty good next to the WWII German items...

Cheers!

Thanks guys, as for the Canadian Medals, I have very few that belonged to my Grandfather. I keep the British and Canadian medals only to the ones that he had earned, sort of like my own personal tribute to him.

Thanks for the engouragement guys. I have a room designed for the future where all this stuff will be displayed in the next house I build. My office will be the place with wall glass and wood cabinets and shelves for display, not to mention flag standards. Ideally I'd like to get the 4 corners of the room with the 4 Themes of WWII (USA, GERMANY, England, Japan) but for now I'm only 24 years old collecting like crazy and trying to pay off my mortgage.



Thanks for all the encouragement!

Shane,
Nice collection! However, the American flag isn't folded properly. The field of stars is supposed to be all that is exposed when the flag is tri-folded. Thanks for showing us your collection.

I know, I am not an expert flag folder and every time I tried to fold the flag so that the field of stars only showed, I couldn't get it right, so I just stayed with the way it is. It has been out and flown on many a military site, so it is often unfolded. Wish I was better at it, but I will wait until my buddy from the airforce comes up again this summer, he'll show me how to do it properly. And make it look good!
