Thanks all. I am now thinking to doing a box for his stuff. I will check with the Sea Bees to see if I can get one to work with me.

I found one that gives me ideas. Maybe like this with his jumper in place of the certifacate -



Doing some research I've found an old POD from his ship during WWII while he would have been on it -



As for what to do after I'm gone, I have no kids and I only have one nephew that is going into the military. If he makes it through boot camp (he's smart, maybe a little to smart) he'll be a Marine so while the two services are close it may not mean as much to him. I am in contact with several military museums and they might be interested in it. I am also in contact with his ship's association and they maybe able to help provide me more info.

Thanks,
Jim
