Are you looking for a way to recognize the military achievements of
one of our family members or friends? How about framing their metals,
ribbons, flags and other items from their time served to make a spectacular
piece? Acknowledge their contributions by showcasing these valuable
items, such as the marine battle streamers shown here on the right.
With Memorial Day, Fathers Day and Mothers Day coming
up, take this opportunity to give these items the attention that they
deserve. There are many design possibilities.
Notice
that the alternating heights of these hanging metals give each its own
space within the frame. Metals look great when custom framed. When gathering
these items, keep in mind that there are guidelines on how military
items should be displayed. For instance, when not on a staff or mast,
the United States flag should be hung flat. No objects or emblems should
be attached to it. Whether it is hung vertically or horizontally, the
stars should be at the upper left. Also, when the flag is folded, the
red and white stripes should not be visible.
Also,
if youd like to follow tradition, keep in mind that there is a
specific color associated with each branch of the military. These are
light blue for the infantry, medium blue for the Navy and Air Force,
and red for the Marines and artillery. Framing uniforms and other
personal belongings highlights the soldier's time in the military. Note
that the United States flag is folded correctly, with no red or white
stripes visible.
If youve wanted to display these items but werent
sure how youll like them presented, well work with you to
create something that youll love. Bring in the items: well
discuss framing options, and then arrange them in various ways until
we have the look that you want. Whether you have one large piece to
display, or a varied collection, we will design an attractive, unified
piece for you. Keep in mind that we can incorporate preservation
elements into the package. Therefore you can assure that these special
items can be displayed for years to come, and garner the respect that
they deserve.
