Ideas for Your Patriotic Display

When someone has dedicated a significant portion of their life to defending the freedoms we enjoy in the United States, patriotism practically runs through that person’s veins. When that is the case, patriotism becomes a theme during every major event in that person’s life, including weddings and funerals. At Floral Preservation & More, we understand that preserving those memories in a way that shows that person’s patriotism is important. There are several items you may want to include in your own patriotic display, particularly those for weddings or funerals.

Flag

The American flag is often a central part of any patriotic display. For a large display, this may include one large flag or several small flags or flag-themed items. For a smaller display, it may include just one smaller flag or flag themed item. For those wanting to add more patriotic symbolism to their display, a bald eagle figurine is another great addition to the display.

Awards and Medals

After several years in the military, people incur awards and medals to demonstrate their service and dedication to their country. These awards and medals, as well as any photos of the award ceremonies, are often a great addition to a military display.

Souvenirs

During the course of military service, people gain many souvenirs or reminders of their service. This may include the bullet that barely missed a major artery or that missed hitting the person at all by only inches. It could include the boots they wore as they trekked through Afghanistan. Some people enjoy including their dog tags in a display.  It could even include souvenirs the person obtained at each place where they were stationed. If a couple met in  the military, they may want to include a souvenir from the base where they met.
