'Live' Shadowbox
I'm thinking of putting together a shadowbox for my son to hang in my office while he's on active duty, updating it as he advances in rank or is awarded ribbons, warfare badges, etc. I think it would make a terrific gift for him when he leaves the Navy, whether he's in for five years or twenty five.
If anyone has experience at this I would be very interested in hearing ideas and suggestions.

Thank you for the links, Paul. After looking at some of their projects I think I'll pay to have one made. Those folks are way above my league.
