Your Tour of Duty
Display your pride of service

 
Commemorative display example


Capture a part of your family's history with a commemorative display for veterans. Displays accurately represent how the "rack" of medals would be worn on a dress uniform of those who have served.  A wonderful way to keep the memories of service alive for posterity.

To Yearn A Bit
by Garry Bowles

Across the fields of  yesterday
They sometimes come to me.
 
Young men, hard at war;
   The boys they used to be.
 
In my mind, I see their faces
As the memories begin.
 
I wonder of the men they became,
And of all the might have beens.
 
Through the years, much has passed,
And surely I've grown older.
 
Yet, I sometimes pause to yearn a bit,
To be once more a soldier.
