Another WW2 framing project:
Distinguised Flying Cross w/ 3 oak leaf clusters, Air Medal (4 OLCs)....
and the penny that saved his life.
He won the toss to see who went on a mission, and the other guy died when his plane crashed. Flew 31 bombing missions over Europe when it was statistically impossible to survive flying more than 25. A true American hero.
We found a 1944 penny for inclusion - at the customer's request. Kassandra's brother is a WW2 buff and had one as part of his collection. He gladly gave it up when we told the story. The project turned out just as we wanted (tears all around when the customer picked it up today).
Thanks to Jim Miller and his shadowbox class - it turned out to be useful for this piece.
This is why we enjoy framing - being able to be a part of things like this.
