   Typically, these are done in a shadow box style with medals, awards and ribbons displayed also. I have mine from my retirement and will take some measurments for you. I have a busy weekend so I may not get them to you until Monday.

   Hello Steve, My name is Steve Nathan, I live in Las Vegas, And attended a funeral for a good friend of mine this week. I did not know it was going to be a military funeral, and after, I offered to make a case for my friends wife. Right after that, another friend asked if I could make one for their fathers flag. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.               NATESKEY

   I made one from a set of plans from Meiselwoodhobby.com.  They have this plan listed in the "curios" section.  They sell a kit with the plan and all the hardware.  I made mine out of maple.

   Mike, Nate, this is nearly identical to the one that I was given at retirement.

   I have attached a photo of a flag case came up with, after seeing something similar to this at the US Air Force Museum with Francis Gary Powers medals and flag in it. The case features a glass enclosed mounting board for medals etc. which is tilted back so the medals don’t hang forward. The case can be wall mounted or sit on a shelf. These cases are sort of a pain to make since there are a lot of steps for a relatively simple project. I’ve made several dozen of these over the last 4 years. If anyone would like a drawing and some detail pictures, please contact me at http://[email protected]. I will send them as a zip file, unless you can’t open them.
