Flag Display Cases for September 11

Families of military veterans receive American Flag from the United States Armed Forces upon death or retirement of the veteran.

Deer Park, NY, September 13, 2012 - Families of military veterans receive American Flag from the United States Armed Forces upon death or retirement of the veteran. If the veteran is a martyr, the flag presented carries a special significance and needs to be kept and displayed in a specially crafted burial flag display case. Every year, around 600,000 flags are presented to families of veterans belonging to Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Marine Corps. Flag display cases are also used to correctly display and preserve flags presented to deceased firefighters, police officers and other dignitaries for their service towards the country. Flag is also presented to retiring veterans and usually are kept in retirement flag cases. Very few people however are aware of the significance of the military flag cases. Keeping the burial or retirement flag properly folded, preserved and displayed is the least that can be done to honor the sacrifice or services of these people.

For decorated veterans, their medals and flags can be housed together in a military flag and medal display case. If you wish to house some sort of document (letter or certificate) and a photograph as a memory along with the burial flag, you can opt either for flag and document case or flag shadow box for this purpose. For retiring veterans and paramilitary forces personnel’s, a retirement flag and certificate shadow box would be more appropriate.

Flag display cases usually are made of oak, walnut, mahogany or cherry wood and come in different shapes and sizes. For instance, a funeral flag display case is triangular in shape which can accommodate a standard government issued flag which is properly folded according to the traditions. This flag case either can be placed on a pedestal or mounted on wall with special kits. Metal, brass or glass plates on the flag cases can be engraved with names, service details and remembrance messages using lasers. Depending on your requirement, you can select and order an appropriate flag case from wide array of range available with us. If you are looking for something special and would like to further customize the flag, get in touch with us and we would be glad to help you out. Honor the departed, let their sacrifices be remembered.

Central Washington University and GoingOn Partner on Academic Technology Trends Webinar Series Event

Free Session on Sept. 26 Will Explore How an Academic Social Network Can Be Used to Simplify Communication and Drive Engagement and Informal Learning

San Francisco, CA, September13, 2012 - GoingOn Networks today announced that it has partnered with Central Washington University for the next session in its Academic Technology Trends Webinar Series. The 45-minute webinar is on Wednesday, September 26 at 2pm CT / 11am PT and will explore how an academic social network can be used to simplify communication and drive campus-wide engagement and informal learning. Registrations are currently being accepted online at http://www.goingon.com/september-webinar-event. GoingOn launched the series last month in an effort to facilitate best practice sharing among higher education institutions around technology trends. GoingOn partners with colleges and universities implementing industry leading solutions to showcase their experiences and offer actionable insights to help others interested in deploying innovative technologies.

During the session, Dr. Tracy Pellett, Associate Provost at Central Washington University, will discuss his directive and path to deploying an institution-wide Academic Social Network. By explaining the drivers and goals behind CWU's adoption of social tools, Dr. Pellett will provide insights into the emerging best practices for planning and implementing a network to connect faculty, students and administration. Dr. Pellett will also elaborate on how Central Washington’s “Wildcat Network” supports CWU's mission to significantly impact student learning, engagement and success. Jon Corshen, CEO of GoingOn Networks, will moderate the webinar.

“Social platforms like Facebook and Twitter have changed the way the world connects and this trend has influenced the ways in which social technologies are becoming a part of the modern academic life experience,” said Corshen. “Central Washington University offers an excellent case study on how these modern modalities can streamline communication and create a collaborative environment that helps increase engagement around academic, co-curricular and extracurricular activities.”

The webinar will explore the benefits and challenges of bringing social technologies to colleges and universities and as a result of attending, participants will

* Learn about the emerging role of the Academic Social Network and hear how this new solution drives engagement and creates a modern connected campus

* Understand why an Academic Social Network succeeds where Portals and Listservs have failed

* Learn how to apply the success of Facebook and Twitter to support conversation and information sharing
