Will,
I know where I stand with mine, she made me sell my cased stuffed Chinese Golden Pheasants when we moved house and I'm only allowed one deer trophy in the house!
Unreasonable or what. The badges live in the collector cabinets in fear of their very existance.
Yours knowing my place,
Kevin

Just do what I did, build a "War Room" out in the garage to hang your badges and other militaria. Place your favorite sports car in the other section and make her park her car in the driveway. Remember most women consider the garage a mans domain. When's the last time she cleaned the garage

Cheers, Michael

I'll let you suggest it to her in person when we're over in Vancouver next year visiting her family. She's a typical red headed Celt.
I'll be off hunting with her cousin's husband north of Abbotsford.
Pob lwc
