Show Honor and Pride With A Flag Display Case

A flag display case is a very important way to display the patriotic duty of a loved one with honor and dignity. An old trunk is no place for your tattered Confederate battle standard or WW II-vintage American flag. If you've got a proud piece of American or personal history you'd like to show the world, flag display cases are the perfect solution. Your flag can hang on the wall encased in glass and fabricated in all types of wood from solid oak and cherry to walnut and pine if you prefer. The most common type of flag case is one that displays the memorial flag which was draped over the casket at the burial services of a military veteran. Some flag cases also have compartments where medals and ribbons of honor can also be proudly displayed.

Burial flag display cases

Military retirement shadow boxes for displaying military US flags and medals are especially popular and have been family heirlooms for many generations. A surviving family member of a Veteran who is buried with a full military honor ceremony is given an American Flag to keep as a nostalgic remembrance of their loved one who served their country so honorably. At a traditional 21 Gun Salute Burial Ceremony - a spent bullet casing (one for each immediate family member) is sometimes gathered by an Officer and placed securely into the triangular folds of the flag before it is presented to the family. These military style shadow boxes flag displays are a wonderful way to remind us all of a veteran's sacrifice.

Born in the US of A

Flags come with a level of meaning that other items don't. If you see an U.S. flag, you know what it stands for - Freedom. Just as a particular school banner denotes pride in a college; military battle flags or unit ensigns stand for unmatched esprit de corps. Overall, wooden display cases are a great way to let everyone exactly how you feel about that grand old flag, whether you choose solid oak with a fine cherry or walnut finish, or decide to go for the actual cherry or walnut wood.

Proud to be an American -- or a Canadian!

Of course, you needn't limit your flag displays to the US flag or the Canadian Maple Leaf. Are your roots across the pond? Fly the Union Jack! Star Trek's United Federation of Planets banner is always a smart choice for the sci-fi fan. Indeed, why limit yourself to flags? Other items, like quilts and tapestries, can also be encased and displayed in fine wood and glass. So don't hesitate to invest in one of these elegant wood-and-glass creations, and hang a piece of pride on the wall.
