Mike, I'm truly amazed at all the amazing artifacts in your collection. It really is a collection to be extremely proud of.

Cheers,

Mark

Thank You Mark.....

After collecting for nearly 40 years hopefully I have been able to pick up some odds and sodds..... LOL......

I know there are the medals and the history about the medals and the men who won them but there are many other things that come along with them that can be collected......

I have been trying to show other areas to draw interest to them......

One of the best pieces that I have though was a sign that my wife had made for me one Christmas.....

I had friends over to the house quite often and we would disappear into my den and spend hours in there......

The sign she had made read "Beware He Who Enters Here Runs The Risk of being Boer'd to Death".......
