Question/Advice Corpsman Shadow Box

Fellow Vets - I’m working to build a shadow box for a close friend who served as a green side Corpsman in Iraq in 2003-2004. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any of his gear from his time in, but I’d like to include something along these lines in the box.

Hoping some of you may be able to help with suggestions of small-ish gear items and/or supplies he would most likely have been issued and used.

Thanks for any help on this.

Woah, haven’t thought about the AAFES pog in years! Had a small ziplock bag of them after deployment.

A bit before my time but I'd consider:

A canteen cup (I have one with my old unit logo lasered on it), Ka bar, a thermometer (as a joke), stethoscope, trauma shears, tourniquet, cravat (triangular bandage).

I'm sure there's tons of other stuff we can think of.
