VISITOR COMMENTS

  • Awesome site. Every time I return there is something new. Thanks. I try to have something new every week.

  • You are to be congratulated for what you are doing to promote our heroes. I really appreciate that since my priority in retirement is the positive promotion of all heroes - both ours and foreign.

  • This site is really a valuable resource. You not only have a great deal of interesting items for sale, but there is a huge amount of outstanding educational material on your sige. Thanks for the kind words. They are much appreciated.

  • I am offended by what you have in the German area of this site. They are scum. During WWII they killed my father. I can appreciate your feeling. War is always terrible. Terrible things are committed by both sides, however the vast majority of those who served in both Germany and the US armed services were not politically motivated, but rather were fighting for their country. German lost but their honorable soldiers should not be forgotten. My favorite story is about the Luftwaffe ace, Molders, who court martialed more than one of his charges for improper treatment of Allied POWs.

  • The best and most informative site I have found yet. Not only is it good to buy from someone who delivers what he sells, but I just enjoy scanning the site. I look forward to the future to see what I can find in the House. Thanks for the kind words. I'm working to get it a little better organized, so please keep checking back.
  • I accidented upon your site when searching for old recordings by the musician, Cyril Stapleton. You have the most fascinating site I have visited. Thanks. I actually met Cyril Stapleton (same name as mine) at the Metropole in New York City back in the 1950's. Wish I could claim him as kin, but we could not find anything we had in common other than a love for music.

  • The custom display you did for my late father - a WWII vet - was incredible. I would like to order three more for my brother and sisters. I love to hear that. Please let your friends know about my custom veteran displays.

  • I do not bookmark many sites but yours, in-so-far-as content is the best I have found on the Internet. Congratulations from a museum director in Belgium. I was referred to you by one of your vendors in London who I have been dealing with for many years. The added value you give to his products assures my return to make more acquisitions for our museum. I appreciate that. I'm honored that my vendors recommend me.

  • I collect autographs of English Victoria Cross recipients and German Knights Cross recipients. Both of these are very hard to find. I was surprised to find you carry both. I am  fascinated by heroes - regardless of which side they fought. My favorite displays are the ones I create for the VC, KC, and US Medal of Honor recipients.

  • The Best Civil War Displays Money Can Buy, Great Gentleman To Do Business With!! Thanks. I try.

  • I'm back for the 5th time for another gift. Your Civil War, Ancient, and Humorous displays are the finest, least expensive, and most unique and most affordable I have found anywhere. If you could come up with an appropriate wedding gift display, you would be my sole source for gifts. I really appreciate that. Keep in mind that if you have someone you would like a special gift for, let me know their area of interest and I may be able to create a special display for them. I'll work on coming up with something appropriate for the bride and groom.

  • Love your site, but am interested in specific items, not displays. Sorry but I cannot compete with those selling individual items. My niche is giving the added value.

  • Nice site. No, not a "nice" site but a really great site. Thanks!

  • Every time I visit your site there is something new. Where do you find the time? I try to put in an hour or so each day working on my site. If I don't have anything new to add, I try to make a few changes to make it "look" different.

  • I accidented upon your wonderful site while searching for something related to the Civil War for a last minute Christmas gift. The beautiful display I ordered on December 21 arrived in perfect condition across the country on December 22 and was much nicer than I had expected. You impressed me and I will be back. When you are as small as I am, service is the main thing I have to offer. I do my best to provide whatever service my customers may require.

  • What a fantastic site. I'm really impressed and I can't believe it's free. I own and operate a combination copy/print shop in Toronto, Canada and find your articles plus this site fantastic!  Thanks for the kind words. There is a lot of free information on my site, but there are also some areas where I can relieve you from some of your hard earned cash. Don't overlook those areas.
  • Love this site. Very easy to navigate.

  • I find it really difficult to believe that you created and maintain this site alone and have the time to get anything else done. It's the most interesting web site I have visited. I have the time because when my wife and I sold our printing company in 1995 I had dreams of leisurly traveling the world with my bride. She decided she was too young to retire and started a new career as a high school English teacher. Now I read, run errands for her and play around with my web site.

  • Just wanted to tell you that my purchase of a "pain bullet" was absolutely wonderful. This was the best transaction I have experienced online. Despite the fact that your computer crashed and there was a delay and confusion surrounding the situation, I want to praise you for your high quality manner of conducting business. Your emails, etc., were above and beyond the call of duty considering you were in the midst of a huge computer problem. Obviously, you are an extremely conscientious and extraordinary person. Thanks. I try...
  • I spend a lot of time looking for interesting sites and and ideas to use on my site. This is the best one I have found. I do not mind sharing. Anything on my site may be used unless it is noted that it is someone elses. All I ask is that you either credit them or my site.
  • I received the custom "honor your own veteran" display you created for my father. I was extremely pleased with the professional job you did with the little information we were able to provide. I would like to order three more copies of this same display for my children. Thanks for the kind words. I enjoy creating these displays. By the time I complete one I feel I know the vet personally.
  • You have a great site, but why do you have so many negative feedbacks on eBay? I really hate those negatives, but keep in mind that I have over 6,000 positive and about 90 negatives. A very few were deserved. Most came during periods where I had lengthy hospital stays (keep in mind I'm 71 years old; have had 2 heart attacks, several major surgeries, and other physical problems.). 100% of those negatives were taken care of - though all were not in a timely manner. More recently, we are still trying to recover from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Rita destroyed my storeroom and until it is rebuilt, finding things is most difficult.

Enjoy browsing. Hopefully, you will find this is one of the more interesting sites on the web. Like any website, this one is constantly under construction. I spend a little time each day working to improve the site. You are invited to bookmark us and return often.
