The inspiration behind this WWII crate comes from the desire to honor those who have served. A badge can be displayed on the front with a hinged lid for storage inside. This crate has become a perfect display for First Responder Badges! This piece can accommodate badges, memorabilia and much more.
One of the crates pictured, was created to honor our FEMA search and rescue dog, Magic, who served for over 10 years. Sadly, she passed at the age of 15. Her partner & owner dedicated this crate to house her FEMA badge, ashes, her first collar, and more. This is just one example of how you can honor those who have served, retired, or display memorabilia.
