Quite seriously and respectfully:  display the insignia of his orders in a shadow box and the brevets of the appointments on the wall, but don’t even think about symbolizing them in any way in your arms.  To decorate your arms with his insignia would obviously be asserting your own membership in these orders; to add something to the shield itself symbolizing the orders would be in the nature of a self-awarded augmentation and even less appropriate.

Even if he had been your father, honors such as these are not inherited.  They would be part of his arms, but they cannot be part of your own, any more than my father’s Bronze Star and Meritorious Service Medal can be part of mine.

That’s what I thought, thank you!
