Flag Display Challenge

The Flag Display Challenge is about people providing a gift of appreciation to the families of our country’s bravest. We appreciate and respect all of the brave men and women who have served our country.

As woodworkers we are able to create beautiful furniture, cabinets, carvings, ornamental millwork and so much more. U.S. Woodworkers Organization challenges all woodworkers, professionals, and hobbyist, to use your skills and tools to create Flag Displays and provide them anonymously to Chaplains at U.S. military bases.

This is not done as a non-profit organization, or for a tax write off. This is done from the goodness of your heart.

If you are not a woodworker, ask somebody that has the woodworking tools to make a flag display for you. With the economy getting better if you are remodeling your kitchen, ask your cabinet maker to include a flag display in your project. If you are a residential or commercial contractor, ask your client if they want to include one, or more, flag displays in the cost of their project. Are there glass companies out there willing to donate some glass to a hobbyist who is making some flag displays?

In the basic triangle type frame, there is not much wood, and a little bit of glass. It should be a minimal expense, but a great gift to the families that receive them. Families will appreciate people cared enough about their loved one, even though they never knew them, to provide such a special gift.

This challenge will touch the hearts of strangers and you will be glad you participated.

Flag Display Designs:
1. Basic Design
2. Basic design with a wider bottom plate.

Requirements of the challenge:

2. The Flag Displays must be given anonymously.
3. No markings, or tags, are allowed on the displays, or in any packaging, that would signify who the builder is, or anybody else – this is not an advertising opportunity.
