Last Monday, I received a call from a company in Minnesota asking if I could build a custom case for a 10’ x 18’ flag. During the Iraq war, one of their employees was activated and made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and recently they received a flag that flew over the Fallujah Base Camp in honor of their employee. On the front of the case will be embedded two challenge coins from the soldiers company. I boxed the case today and will ship Monday. Here is the case before shipment but I have been promised pictures of the ceremony which I will post later.

I am humbled to build this.

A fitting tribute for a fallen hero.

How did you determine the size?

I love it Ron, a wonderful tribute and excellent work on your part.

The flag was huge and creased so they hung it vertically snd spritzed it with water to remove the creases. It took some time to fold it into a triangle but they accomplished that and sent me the dimensions. I created a cardboard template and patterned the upper case from that. The triangle measured 21” on each side and a little over27” across the base. The finished case packed weighed 24 pounds. I had to fabricate the box from a box i got from a local body shop.
