Welcome David. I am AL from TN and also retired military (AF) I also have a goal of making some kind of display of my military history but have not come up with a design for it yet. At the moment I am having a new workshop installed and will be working on that project as soon as I get it set up. Going to be a while though. Glad to have you with us. If you have any questions, just ask and someone will respond. There is a large amount of talent here. Welcome.
