The flag that was on the casket was given to my daughter Cristal because she had done so much to help my Mom in the last 5-6 years of her life.
I decided to make her a flag case to hold the flag. I had some old pictures of Mom in her uniform. Scott took the pictures and fixed them, cleaned them up and got then ready to print.
He enlarged one of the pictures so we could see her shoulder patch on her uniform. I knew she spent most all her military time at Romulus Air Force Base in Detroit, Michigan.
Scott was able to track down her shoulder patch, her rank patch, her collar pin and her medal she received and found them either on the internet or at the Army Navy Surplus store.
I made the case and Scott chased down all the stuff to go in the case.
We took the stuff to a friend to make a matte and mount in the top side of the case.
We gave the flag case to Cristal last weekend when the kids were down from Idaho Falls. It turned out awesome.
