Thanks to Col Ross Shulmister for this tip - Pat P. It's very rare that I ever tout a commercial product, but I kinda want to on this ... it's because I shopped coffee mugs, and found some great deals, and decent artwork. Turns out one mug I bought was so well built that the handle cracked after a couple of weeks (it started leaking), and it turned out it and another one I ordered were made in China. That may not sound like a big deal, but ceramics made in China often have a high lead content – not something you want in your coffee mug, leaching into your coffee. After a lot of surfing, and phone calls, I finally found a heavy-duty coffee mug, made in the USA, and exceptionally good military artwork. I bought the 11 oz. mug for $19 (and coulda gotten the 15 oz. for $21). It cost more than the cheap China mugs, but the safety and the artwork were well worth it, not to mention that the mug is heavier and sturdier than the other crap that's available on line. You can see my mug, which is featured on their website, at: www.myservicepride.com/11-ozmug.htmlYou shouldn't have any trouble figuring out which is mine (and I am completely satisfied with it !!!!! ). Sgt. Massie's company will build your ribbon rack for you (but you may have to provide some of the other artwork). Let me know if he doesn't have your airplane or rank – I have a pretty decent library of airplane clip art. M. Ross Shulmister Picture of mug from website
