A long time ago I set out to research both my Grandfathers and One Great Grandfather, Re: The roles they played in the US Military. Last week I finally got the last display case finished. I had a shadow box make for Arnold Roscoe Collins, to display his WWI and WWII Victory Medals and a plaque to show is dates of service. The next one will be mine, since my retirement from the United States Army Reserve will be effective on 1 May 2014. And I have to assume, it will be a good while before I have the honor of doing Chimge's. Christopher being the only male heir will have to buy a large house to display his families proud military history.
Private Arnold Roscoe Collins' WWI and WWII Victory Medals. I chose the red back ground, because in WWI he was Pioneer Infantry (Engineer) and in WWII he was Medical Corps.

PVT Newton Willard Young
LTC (R) Arnold Collins, Jr.
I feel I have accomplished something, learning their histories and taking the time to preserve them in words as well as the displays.
