Just in time for Memorial day…
I made a display case for my father-in-law that holds an American flag and certificate. The flag and certificate were presented to him by an active Navy Seal serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The certificate shows the date the flag was flown over Camp Patton in Fallujah.
This was quite an honor for my father-in-law, and the flag and certificate deserved a special case to preserve and protect them.
Here’s a link to the video on how the case was made:

John: A very nice flag case and certificate holder. It looks like a fine piece of workmanship.

Hey Karson. Thanks for checking out the video, I’m glad you liked it. I had fun making this project and my father in law loves it. We snuck the flag and certificate out of his house withou him knowing and I installed it before presenting it to him. It was a nice surprise.

John, Would you be interested in building 4 of these for me? I’m in the Air Force and recently flew 4 flags for family members and would like to put them in a display case before giving them out. If you are interested, please let me know how much you’d charge. Thanks.
Tony
