Sergeant Stripes

Did you know that all 5 'x 9.5' burial flags are the same size? Some fold the time of the first beautiful, so 3 stars on the bottom and 1 star on top. Others will not, that's what you do.

Here's how to fold a flag burial so that the final result will be give you the perfect style.

• In respect of our flag and what it represents – Do not flag on the floor!
• Just to let you know: There is no disrespect involved in a folding Memorial Flag.

* This is a task for two people .*

First flag made and one at each end of the pavilion (a near one striped and stars).

1) Fold the flag in half (how long) twice. You will now have a long rectangle (about 15 or 16 inches wide and 9'6 "long and holes brass ring will be in place and the right to display the files of).

2) Run the "tapes" end of the line and fold-down, up to the left to create a triangle. Continue folding flag (End Over End) until you have "at least" one Once full advantage everywhere. Put the excess into the fold (layers flag) flag to keep together.

If you enable this option and see more three-star track on the bottom and one above (with other parties), you're done. If your stars do not resemble the usual (mostly), please read on.

* All flags burial are exactly 5 feet 9 1 / 2 feet. They very much. This first step to define where the stars are defined in your triangle on the last trick. Please pay attention .*

2a) In this first time, instead of a decline to complete a 3 / 4 times. If your width is 15 "to the first trick at 13." (See chart for more details on my site) on the graph shows that A, B, C and D. A is for the first test, how to see where your stars line up. B, C and D show you how to start a part-fold, and then continue to fold before just enough to bring within the fold. Adjust the size of the first times until you get your stars as you want them.

The thing about 5 'x 9.5' burial flags are that they are made from various companies. These companies may begin by 5'x9 .5 'Actions, but after turning and sewing the ends, they are usually different sizes. I have 4 burial flags and none of they are the same measures.

Make sure the flag is placed in the case properly. No brass rings must be indicated or white or red either. Only the blue background and stars. (Preferably 4 to 3 in the bottom, 1 top center) A very good example for me "About Page". This flag folded beautifully the first time. Others just do not like.

One last thing, I had visitors ask me about place ribbons, trenches and photos in the case with the flag and the flag. Well, this is totally up to you. Nowhere have I ever read or seen something that says it should not be done. This is your loved one, you decide. I had a case where the flag I placed three envelopes with the flag (on site, "Western") in pilot holes, and the client was going to pin ribbon on his fathers side left of the flag (which is where a soldier would when their ribbons).
