When it comes to honoring a military career, the details matter — and so does time.
Thoughtful craftsmanship, careful assembly, and meaningful personalization aren’t things that should be rushed. Beginning the process early allows every element to be done right, from the materials chosen to the way a career of service is represented.
A retirement shadow box isn’t just part of a ceremony. It’s something that will be kept, displayed, and remembered for decades. Planning ahead ensures it reflects the respect that service deserves.
✝📖Romans 5:5 (NIV)
“And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”

Military retirement ceremonies may happen later in the year, but the planning often starts much earlier than people expect.
For families preparing for a winter or early spring retirement, January is typically when details begin to come together — ceremony planning, guest coordination, and deciding how a career of service will be honored.
A retirement shadow box isn’t a last-minute detail. It’s a centerpiece of the ceremony and something that will be kept for a lifetime. Thoughtful planning ensures it’s done right — with the respect and craftsmanship service deserves.
Honoring military service requires more than woodworking skills — it requires understanding what service truly means. That’s why every retirement shadow box we build is handcrafted by U.S. military veterans who’ve lived the same commitments, sacrifices, and transitions.
We don’t just build displays — we build them with perspective, respect, and purpose, because these stories matter and deserve to be preserved by those who understand their weight.
✝📖 Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

A military career may come to an end, but the service, sacrifice, and responsibility carried through those years never truly stop.
Retirement isn’t a closing chapter — it’s a transition into legacy. Stories lived, lessons learned, and commitments made still matter long after the uniform is hung up. Those moments deserve to be preserved with the same respect they were earned.
At Legacies of America, we believe honoring service isn’t about celebrating an end — it’s about recognizing a lifetime of dedication and ensuring it’s remembered with purpose.

Stars & Stripes Woodworks was founded in 2017, by owner & woodworker, USAF Disabled Veteran, SSgt Chris Fehringer.
SSgt Fehringer served over 8 years in the United States Air Force, with two deployments overseas. On his last deployment, in 2014, Fehringer was a member of the Air Force’s C-SMART (Configurable Small Maintenance Repair Team) in Afghanistan. While providing maintenance and LSS (Life Saving Support) to US Army Special Forces, he sustained a shoulder injury during a ground and IDF (indirect fire) attack. When he returned stateside, he spent the next two years going through physical therapy and surgery, before finally being medically discharged from the Air Force in May of 2017.
During those two years, Fehringer would build going away shadow boxes and flag display cases for fellow service members and veterans. What started as his own personnel “therapy” and side gig, grew into what is now the business, Stars & Stripes Woodworks.
Frustrated with seeing flag display cases and shadow boxes in craft stores that are made in China, using subpar particle board, Stars & Stripes Woodworks believes our nation’s heroes deserve items made well, here in the U.S.A. Utilizing only real domestic hardwoods, each item is handcrafted by veterans. Always paying attention to detail, these beautiful pieces pay great tribute to our military service members, and first responders.
Stars & Stripes Woodworks also has a continual mission to give back to the Veteran Community through organizations such as Luke’s Wings®, and Wounded Warrior Project®. Not only holding a strong belief in providing an exceptional product, but also having a strong emphasis on Veterans supporting Veterans. With a goal of hiring only Military Veterans, and using American sourced goods, Stars and Stripes Woodworks is true to their core value of
