Funny this topic popped-up again. I just had my "Breaking of the Wings" story and my half of the wings framed this past weekend. They had been sitting in my house since 2003 and I finally decided to get it done. Had the story surrounded by a blue matting and had the 1/2 set of wings centered as if whole set, below the story. The lady at the frameshop couldn't figure out why I did that way, then I asked her if she read the story. Her answer was "no". Told her it was to highlight that half the wings are missing.
I'm single, so I didn't have your problem. I gave the half to my grandparents since they are from the WWII era. They still have them and my grandmother still wears her gold Tweet pin everyday that she bought at my track select.
