Brought some of my old flags out of storage today. Three of them were brought back by my fiancées grandfather, although we are not sure where he got them. The other was purchased from Dr Mike Bortner. Saving up to get all of them professionally framed as well as some Nazi flags one of my family members brought back.The war room is coming along nicely!

Very nice. I need to get one of these one day. The personal connection makes them priceless

Very nice examples with personal connection and of course you can't go wrong getting one from Mike as he's literally the guy that wrote the book!

By the way, Michael's craft stores often have great discounts as high as 60% off regular pricing on custom framing and I've found that they turn out a very fine product so don't spend your kids college fund getting them done at a custom frame shop.

Stu

Just a few weeks back I bought a boat load of front opening shadow boxes from Michael at 50% off. You can get great buys there sometimes!

Thanks for the comments, Gents. They are gorgeous and will display very nicely. The goal for the war room is having each wall display a different theatre of war. I need to keep my eyes open for professional framing deals at our Michael's store!

Guy - Thank you for the translation! I have often wondered what all the Kanji means. Thanks for shedding some light on it!

I agree with Stu about Michaels I get a heads up when they have a 70% sale and my framing lady gives me a heads up! here are a few she has done for me.She is very patient with my projects because I am very particular about my ideas.so if you find a good framer let them know how much you appreciate them. They will go over and above the usual projects! Regards,Geoff
