was tearing apart the  house last night looking for a lost Glock magazine (didn't find it) when I rediscovered something I forgot I had.  When my grandmother died in the early 2000's I inherited much of her "stuff" in it was also my grandfather's "stuff".  As he had served in WWII in the Army Air Corps this was special because I received all of his militaria.  I served in the Air Force so we had a special connection.  Well last night I re-found a very old solid wood cigar box.. I nearly cried so I am going to build the "Gordy" (that's what we called him as kids)  I am thinking of using Modpodge? techniques to affix some Indian rupees he brought back, attach a couple of his ribbons, maybe a set of stripes and if I can find them, his wings.  Inside I plan to put a copied photo of him in uniform below a sound hole.  I am really thrilled to be able to tribute him this way.  He died of a heart attack in 1986 just before I, his oldest grandson, entered basic training.  May not mean much to some, but to me it is a huge salute.
