Rudder:
Thanks for the complement! I understand your point concerning the difficulty of enjoying a collection that is stored away, and it's a problem that I cannot resolve at present.
The difficulty I face, and it's entirely a self-created dilemma, is that I collect so many different types, periods, and nationalities of militaria that I have acquired literally a mountain of "stuff."
Iraqi and Desert Storm militaria represents perhaps 10% of my collection. And each of my separate sub-collections is just as comprehensive, just as extensive, if not more so than my Desert Storm collection.
In short I have too much stuff. But I love it!
I just know that I'm happier having what I have, even if I cannot enjoy it at present, than I would be selling items that are out of sight. At least now I can hope that some day, I will be able to construct a nice "war room" like I have seen others here display.

Gentlemen:
Is there a way to edit a post once made, because if there is I must be overlooking it.
Thanks!
