                                            This sure made my day.  This touched me in so many ways as I worked on it.  My husband Wayne Salyers was a Marine through a through  my dad was Workd War 11, Army, my uncle and cousin was Navy. I grew ip saluting the flag every morningin school and taught to tespect it at home. Thank you Ayla Aldridge for chosing us for this honor.
I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the tremendous amount of care, time, and precision that went into framing my flag from my deployment to Afghanistan. This piece holds so much personal meaning, and you treated it with the utmost respect and attention to detail. The craftsmanship is absolutely stunning — every element reflects the pride and honor behind it. Thank you for putting your heart into this work; it’s more than just a frame, it’s a tribute that I’ll cherish forever. Ayla Aldridge
