If you don’t want them bag and trash them.


I earned every tennis, billiards, and golf trophy’s. None which were team trophy’s where you get one if you played/won or not. I’ll be keeping mine and no I don’t go around bragging about them.

Before you dispose of them remove the plates that states what they were for. Mount the plates on a new plaque . Smaller keepsake or make one for each person who won them.

Why would anyone keep those it’s like medals in hat I see sometimes on a wall of someone’s home . There were many instances where in a combat stand down they would read the citation but the medal might come later usually if you asked for it , my citations are on my discharge papers , I never sent for anything , and I don’t see the point . I do have one thing from military I display, many years ago when I used to drive home to Boston a friend told me he got stopped at speed trap but they let him off with warning because of Purple Heart plate , so I did go out and get ones over the years I’ve been stopped a few times including once on Morse Blvd where for some reason I was way over speed limit , i was given a break each time but I would never bother to get the physical medal for anything I earned

My father was the same way. Never wanted anything or spoke about WWII. We knew he had a Purple Heart Medal but never knew about all the rest, including a Bronze Star. I don’t know if you have children or grandchildren but I can tell you this. You may not feel the need to have them, but to your family they will be priceless.
