What a lovely tribute you have given to him and I am sure that he is so very proud of you and the banner.

I did that exact same banner in a machine embroidery club I take once a month; exact same design, wording and the banner itself. It's a great gift for any veteran or active duty person. Great job doing it by hand. Not sure I would do that. Love the machine embroidery.
