Hi, I’m trying to make something for my husband that might remind him of his life as a National Park ranger. I got some material from Jan that had the National Parks where he has worked. He has also worked at National Sea Shores and National Monuments. Does anyone have any ideas if there is anything out there for those? Everything I’ve tried has been a dead end. I found a sea turtle. If I go that route, I’ll need Indian tents, creators, Indian ruins... Any ideas?

Google: national parks tokens for sale
also: National Parks discs for sale.
There were lots of things there, coins, tokens, etc.

My husband is in the middle of the last stage of Alzheimer’s. Every thing goes in his mouth so I really need to be careful about what I attach. I have found things for National Parks but little to nothing for National Monuments or Sea Shores. I guess it really doesn’t matter for him. It’s just something I wanted to do for him.

I wish I could help but I would like to say thanks to your hubby for his years of hard work.

Thank you. He loves his work. He loved the outdoor and sharing his live of each place he was stationed.

I recently saw a beautiful display of police patches from about 40 cities at our courts/police building. Is it possible that you could purchase or request a ranger badge from the monuments where he has worked, as part of your display?

I don’t know. That is a great idea! Thank you.

You didn't say which National Sea Shore or National Monument he worked at... perhaps that would help refine the search...

I’m not sure I have mentioned each one. That, too is a great idea. Thank you b

Have you looked at Etsy? They have lots of unusual and hard to find items. Hugs. Nan

No, I’ve never been on Etsy. Maybe it’s time to give it a try. Thank you

Sorry I am of no help at all but I wanted to say what a great project you are setting up and I look forwards to seeing what you create. Caroline in the UK
