Hi everyone,
I figured this might be the best place to ask since some of you probably do (or have done) these type of cases. I was extremely lucky today to receive a thanks from our troops in Afghanistan for my support of the Dog Tag's for Kids project started by Rose Sliepka of First Place Awards. I'm sure you've seen posts here concerning that project and the wonderful job that Rose has done (actually she is the one that deserves the thanks...we just help out when needed!).
Anyway, much to my surprise and delight, I received a flag that had been flown at the Bagram Theatre Internment Facility in Afghanistan, complete with a certificate presenting it to me. I have to say that I was truly impressed and awestruck over the gesture and want to proudly display it.
Would anyone have any suggestions on the best place to get a case that will not only hold the flag, but the certificate as well? I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Lee's Wood Products should have what you need. Their "Queen Anne" finish is the bomb!
No web site that I'm aware of.

I'll second what David said about Lee's Wood flag cases.
In my opinion, they are second to none for quality.
AND they are made here in good old USofA.
They aren't the cheapest, but they are very high quality.

I've seen quite a few on the Net and most are not cheap! Of course I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest, but I do want a good one. I'm going to call them today, but I wish they had a site so I could see them, especially any wood choices they may offer.
However, if you guys say they're good, I certainly have no reason to doubt that! :-)
Thanks for the help!
