Hawaii hosts the USS Arizona Memorial, it is a place dedicated to the souls of the fallen American Soldiers during the surprise attack of the Japanese at Pearl Harbor that started World War 2 in the Pacific.
The 184 feet structure that was erected on the midsection couldn't have been built if not for the people who clamored for its construction. At first, there were really no plans to remember the event, after some time only a flag pole was erected at the ship and 9 years after plans were made to construct the memorial. Today, this place holds the names of the 1,177 crewmen who lost their lives on the ship.
Families left by these fallen soldiers, are sent letters by the United States, offering their sincerest condolence to the lost of their love ones. As a sign of the tribute, the Country gives them memorial flags placed in
memorial cases to commemorate their efforts to protect and maintain peace that we are enjoying today.
Memorial flags in cases and markers act as a memorabilia for their lost loved ones, some people keep them in special boxes. Others hang these memorial flags in living rooms, to remember them. Usually these memorial flags displayed outside will slowly wear and tear them; therefore it's good to have special encasement for them.
There are a lot of available cases for these kinds of memorabilia, compared to the conventional boxes used to keep them; they are manufactured to do two things. First is to protect these memorabilia from too much moisture sunlight and dust and second is for the owner to easily display them.
A memorabilia is intended to last for a lifetime for us to reminisce and feel again. However nothing is perpetual, thus finding ways to keep it intact longer is always a good thing.
