Beautiful flag
July 1, 2025

The flag was delivered and exceeded our expectations. The quality is beautiful. This was a gift for a colleague who just became an american citizen and she was so touched by this. My ONLY feedback is the little plaque that we ordered with a message to her couldn't really go anywhere on the frame because the frame is curved not flat. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who was looking for an item like this.

Unfinished after 2 months
June 2, 2025

First: received email asking about the product. I had not received it
I wrote back an related that. Got a very nice email back. Then: Order came in without the etched glass that we ordered; got another nice email. Someone would call. Then: I called... i dont even remember all the back and forths.
Still: Have not received the proper product.

Thank you for shopping with us and for taking the time to leave a review.

After carefully reviewing your order and all related correspondence, we’d like to clarify a few important points. You placed an order for a laser-engraved plate—yes, a plate, not an etched glass panel. That is exactly what we produced and shipped to you.

After receiving the plate, you contacted us requesting a laser-engraved glass instead. We explained—both via email and over the phone—that the item you received matches your original order and payment. A custom-engraved glass is a different product at a higher cost, and was not part of your original order.

To avoid any confusion, we even sent you a copy of your order, showing exactly what was purchased and fulfilled. Unfortunately, rather than acknowledging that the order matched what was placed, you insisted that we replace it with a different product that was not ordered or paid for.

We are a small team of U.S. veterans who take great pride in our craftsmanship and customer service. We work hard to make high-quality American flag display cases and accessories, and always aim to fulfill orders accurately and respectfully. While we understand that misunderstandings can happen, we do believe it's important to set the record straight in this case.

We’re truly sorry you felt the need to leave a negative review, but we stand by our commitment to honesty and integrity in every order we fulfill.

Flag display was perfect
May 4, 2025

Ordered a box from Amazon which said would fit the flag. It was way too small. I went online and found this store ordered the box and it came within days and the flag for perfectly and looks so nice. I gofted my nephew his dad's military flag I received when he passed and it was so appreciated. He cried when I gave it to him. Thank you for your craftsmanship

Bad experience
May 1, 2025

Items were listed as 2 1/2 inch Medallions but sent 2 inch stick on cheap ones. Took several toys to resolve issue, finally challenged the charge with my card company to get a refund. I did return the wrong ones. Never again will I order from this company.

We're sorry to hear you're unhappy with your experience. However, we'd like to clarify the situation for accuracy. When you placed your order, you selected the plastic 2" medallions, which are clearly listed and priced accordingly. After receiving your order, you contacted us, and we upgraded you—at no additional cost—to a higher-end medallion as a courtesy.

Despite this, you chose to dispute the charge with your credit card company. According to our records, the upgraded items were never returned to us. This means you received a free upgrade and a full refund, which is both disappointing and unfair to our small business.

We strive to treat all customers with respect and honesty, and we expect the same in return. Due to how this situation was handled, we will not be able to fulfill future orders from you.

Scam
February 1, 2025

This site ships items from Amazon for multiple times the Amazon price. Save yourself money and order directly from Amazon. Also, The Military Gift Store says their products are Made in America. The item they shipped from Amazon was made in China. In addition to a flag case I also ordered a small personalized engraved name plate. It's $5 on Amazon and I paid a lot more than that from the Military Gift Store. And why would there be so many 5-Star reviews from people in India on this site? Clearly fake reviews. Do not shop here.

Cheated
February 1, 2025

I ordered a cherry case with etched glass. I received a plain black wood case with plain glass. So this company thought it would be acceptable to cheat a new widow of an American service member!

My order arrived broken in the mail, and customer service went above and beyond to help solve the issue and make sure I got a replacement. The quality is wonderful, and I love that the products are made by veterans.

This vendor needs to CLEARLY state that your product will be in the hands of the USPS and not UPS. There is a massive difference. I ordered a flag and display case and paid an extra $229 for TWO DAY delivery. Well, here we are THREE DAYS LATER and the package hasn't even been delivered to the POST OFFICE for delivery. I paid the extra to have the flag for graveside presentation. It hasn't even made it out of the vendor's shop. This is not the way to treat veterans or their families at their most vulnerable.

The military memorial flag case I purchased is beautiful! Beautiful cherry wood with my dad's name and Army emblem. Beautiful way to protect the flag that was given to me at my dad's funeral. I will always cherish it.
