Army Armored Cavalry / Signal Officer Retirement Shadow Box
Posted by Ryan Scalf on 13th Jul 2021
This shadow box turned out incredible. Our customer started out as an enlisted soldier in the Armored Cav and then became a Signal Officer!!! This is what the orange and yellow colors represent. We are on a roll with museum glass right now. It is amazing that these photos actually are with glass on in the shadow box frame!!! You can not beat it. One it is 99% UV protected but it just brings the entire display to life. You get what you pay for when it comes to upgrading your glass options. We haven't done to many multi colored displays so this was a lot of fun to put together. We can design something unique for each and every customer that finds our services. Give us a call if you are in need or no some one. 309-289-0099 Thank you for your service Bruce!!!!!
