One of the greatest gifts I have ever received

Got an early Fathers Day gift from my son in Iraq.It was an American flag along with this certificate pictured below.I had no idea that the troops there could do this.Now I have to find a display case for the folded flag with a place for the certificate underneath it.As for my son,he is doing fine and I hope it won't be long until all of our brave men and women in uniform can return home safely.

Excellent highlight of your son's military career.
Here's hoping for a safe return and a continued proud career in the armed forces!
Thanks for sharing this.

That's great.

When you shop for a case, you will need to know if it's a 4x6 or 5x8 flag. I have mine displayed in the staircase, you see it as your coming down the stairs.
