Dustin’s Flag Case
“The flag case pictured above, front and back views, was made for us by Darrell to display Dustin’s interment flag. Darrell is the son of our neighbor, Vicky, and many of you reading this have met her. Darrell brought the flag case from Mississippi to Texas this past weekend and presented it to our family. As you can see, it’s absolutely beautiful! We are not experts on types of wood, so we had Vicky call Darrell, the master craftsman, to inquire about the woods he used in the flag case that he designed and handcrafted. The case and pedestal are made of solid Santos Mahogany. The inlaid Texas star is crafted out of Lacewood and Tiger Maple. Inset in the front of this extraordinary case are three bullet casings from the gun salute for Dustin at the cemetery on the day of his funeral. The case is heavy! After taking the above pictures, we lifted it onto the scale and the case weighed in at 23lbs. without the flag! Darrell, we can’t thank you enough for honoring Dustin, for the treasured gift of the heirloom flag case and for being so very thoughtful.”�

How very appropriate that this stunning flag case was presented to the Donicas during the week that our nation celebrates Flag Day, June 14th, commemorating the adoption of the flag of the United States of America. Old Glory, with her stars and stripes, is the flag that Dustin served so well.
