Flag Cases are generally used to preserve and display the American Flag in honor of a deceased military veteran, firefighter, police officer, or dignitary. Flag cases are also used to display flags having some historical or memorable significance.

Each year more than 600,000 flags are presented to military personnel and their families in honor of dedication and service to their country. An additional 250,000 flags are flown over capitol buildings commemorating birthdays, honors and special achievements. These cherished flags represent the past, present, and future of this great nation and the dedication of those sworn to protect it. Flag cases are the perfect way to preserve, protect, and proudly display these cherished memories. 

Flag cases are usually made of different types of wood such as oak, walnut or mahogany and come with a glass or clear front so you can see the flag. Flag cases generally come with engraved metal or brass plates on them
The typical memorial flag (casket flag) measures 5' x 9.5', however flag sizes do vary. Commemorative flags typically measure 3' x 5' or 4' x 6'.  Flag cases are designed to fit one size or the other, so it is important when choosing your case to know the size of your flag you have selected to go into a flag case.

Any government issued flag should fit most standard sized flag cases. Your flag should be folded according to strict, historic traditions. Wall mounting kits are included with all of our flag cases, but you should also consider displaying your flag case on a pedestal that, by elevating the flag and flag case, focuses the attention to the flag. A variety of beautiful pedestals are also available for the flag cases that can be personalized the names, dates and a service emblem. Engraved plates can also be attached, with an adhesive back, to the flag case itself.

Another consideration is where the flag case will be displayed.  While most of flag cases may be mounted to a wall, some flag cases are more suitable in a mantle or table display. Larger flag cases, particularly those which include a "shadowbox" or additional area to feature medals, patches, pins, or memorabilia can weigh in at upwards of 30 pounds when filled, so caution should be taken when wall mounting these models of flag cases.  
Flag cases are ideal for current or retired military or other uniformed service people and can also be used to display medals and other items of memorabilia such as medallions, coins photos, pins, citations, badges etc. Flag cases also make for good gifts or for use at flag retiring ceremonies. Flag cases are a great way to display, preserve and protect cherished memories.
