Military Retirement Box (Flag Display)

Shawn.Kenyon · #1 10-20-2009, 10:12 AM

Hello,

My Brother-In-Law is retiring from the Navy in a couple of weeks. He has asked me to build his retirement box. I was also in the Navy and have built a few retirement boxes in the past. I wanted to do something special for his retirement (untypical). The flag he gave me was flown by his Father during a Tiger Cruise years ago, and was presented to my Brother-In-Law. Generally the background of a retirement box is crushed velvet. Instead I want to display the whole flag as the background under glass. His metals and insignias would be mounted on top of the glass so nothing would actually be touching the flag except the glass. I’m afraid of breaking some sort of protocol during his retirement ceremony, but feel that this display would be in the most honorable of intentions.

Please help,

Shawn

Don't know of any protocol u would be breaking as long as nothing is mounted on the flag. Besides it is being displayed in anhonorable fasion.
