I lost my uncle to a murderer. I cherish with all my heart the badge he was wearing when he died.

Just because you don't understand someone else's feelings doesn't make their feelings wrong.

Cherish it as you will. But surely you don't need it to remind you of him do you? Do you bring it out at dinner parties to show your friends? Like you have done here for example? If so, my human nature believes you are dishonoring your uncle.
