A shadow box reflecting U.S. Coast Guard Reserve Rear Adm. Francis “Stash” Pelkowski’s 38 years of service is displayed during his retirement ceremony held in West Islip, N.Y., May 19, 2018. The shadow box is a time-honored tradition among sailors based on the boxes they used to carry their belongings ashore after returning from sea.
