tdale51@yahoo.com Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Traditionally, a veteran, upon retirement, receives a flag that has been flown over the nation's capitol. I recently discovered that my father never received his flag upon retiring after 23 years in the Army. Being active duty Air Force I felt it was my duty to remedy this situation. I purchased a flag and requested it to be flown in an aircraft on a combat support mission over Afghanistan and got the certificate to authenticate it. I got the display case idea, inspiration, and plan from John Nixon at eaglelakewoodworking.com. Here's my rendition, out of walnut with maple keys. The finish is good ole Arm-R-Seal. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
