Not retired but I do still have a decent amount of my stuff. I've thought about doing a shadow box.

Got all that stuff....somewhere. And probably not all in the same place. The only things I display are my parting gifts from the .mil, and my retirement certificate.

I still have (after 20 years of retirement) a full ribbon rack, and both a full size and miniature medal set. All neatly packed away with the award orders, and discharge and retirement certificates.
The only thing that I keep handy is my DD-214. |

After 13 years, I kept my Crossing the Equator certificate and all my ship ball caps. Other than that, no Navy stuff in my place.

If you vets would entertain the idea of putting one together, would be glad to do it for you, you may not want one for yourself, but I'll bet someone in your family would. No charge, just pay for materials.
Some of my past handy work.
