Hallie, Hunter (VP is in the CC block),

I spoke with the company that embedded the Department of Justice badge into the lucite (the clear glass-like plaque) and asked about doing the same with Beau's military decorations (badges and ribbons).  They're concerned the heat required to embed the decorations would burn the fabric on the ribbons/medals.  I checked with another company here in DC and they have similar concerns.  

Both companies suggested the idea of putting his decorations into a shadow box, which could also encase the U.S. Flag.  There are several shadow box options available, but to help narrow down the search I attached a document with some examples.  Several companies design these shadow boxes so there's a good amount of flexibility for a customized design, if you'd like.  

I am available anytime by phone (206-778-8347) to answer your questions or to talk through the options.
