On my bookcase in the living room is one old beret. It bears the flash of SF Command.
In my closet, on the shelf, in a cardboard box I have pictures, hundreds of pictures. Some of which are posted on here.

At eye level, a M-18 Claymore Mine reading "Front Towards Enemy".

3 packs of Trophy chew, a box of 22 LR's to snipe squacks, a book called "Black Light" and three remotes.

My diplomas from Columbus College and Indiana University, the flag from my Dad's coffin and his 'shadow box' from WW2, a few memory trinkets.

A picture that is on my shelf:
A "Free" Kuwait, just outside of the American Embassy. Two kids thanking me for freeing their country. See that kid on the left, she took my dog tags for a "souvenir"..... I wonder if they are on her shelf...

Looks like we're in the same boat. Figure I'll be single for a while, so the "man house" should remain (for now). Recently moved (again), so I'll be setting up the multiple shelves and "man things" after I return from my next school.
Past shelves/walls have been fairly simplistic. Shelf usually included a small display of challenge coins, my Drill Sergent's Army Values tag (he gave it to me on graduation) and a Silver Dollar and accompanying thank you letter (first salute at my buddy's commissioning, back when I was an NCO). The wall had my college degrees and the flag from my grandmother's grave (Navy hospitalman).
