Thanks for your suggestions, I know they can't use the real American Flag. They are in the beginning of setting up this service and don't want to show any disrespect, only honoring the veteran. I like the idea of the different branches to use in the covering but don't know how feasible that would be, then we would have to have many more tops done.
The simple one on Ebay may be the way to go. Maybe with each branch in the center of the star.

Lots to think about, keep the great ideas coming.
