"my desk name plaque made in the Philippines with the Marine Corps War Memorial atop"

The one with the red felt area where you can put your metal rank insignia in? That seems like standard issue for every Marine who ever went to Subic Bay. Those Phillipinos make some great woodworking stuff....

That’s the one! And I also got a family name plaque with two name boards attached via chains. One board with mine and my wife’s names and the other with my first daughter’s name! Since then, I have had three more daughters, but I have yet to find a wood shop that can remotely duplicate the work which was originally done in the Philippines! Sad!
