NEW PHILADELPHIA Construction students at Buckeye Career Center are building boxes to hold the flags that cover veterans caskets at their burials.
The project serves two purposes: it gives the juniors the opportunity to serve the community, and it gives veterans survivors a way to display the flags. Many times these flags get shoved in a closet. The flag boxes can cost over $100 and are hard to find, said Debra Cook, director of the Tuscarawas County Veterans Service Office.
All veterans who are honorably discharged are eligible for a flag when they die, Cook said.
The triangular boxes are made from red oak with a clear acrylic front.
