What a day we had.
We had 17 flag cases in various stages of completion, and we had to cut the glass in a triangle to fit the openings. Some people cut pieces to hold the glass in place and support the back. Finally, we cut the trim for the back side to hold the case together.
These flag cases have been processed by many different veterans each month. Each month, we have veterans — sometimes ones who have been there before, and many times new ones. We are building these flag boxes that go to families when a veteran is interred at a national cemetery. They receive the folded flag at the service, and these cases give them somewhere to display it properly — instead of sitting on a shelf or in a drawer, collecting dust.
Next month — April 14th, from Noon to 4 pm — we'll finish the cases that need to be finished and start new ones.
Veterans making flag cases for veterans, to honor those who served.
