Just after my stint in the Marine Corps all my buddies got together and bought me a KaBar and had it engraved with my dates of service, rank and a sweet little quote about our time together. I was (and am) most greatful for the gesture.
A KaBar is the ubiquitous Marine Corps fighting Knife and an inexpensive but common part of Marine Corps lore.
I'm sure something exists for the Coast Guard, heck even a nice plaque with similar info would certainly be appreciated...if your buddy's service was a pleasant one.
Not really thinking outside the box....but hell, there's a reason for the box and sometimes what's in it, is the right answer to a dilemna ;-)
