Veteran's folded tribute
A memorial flag is a flag presented to the family of a deceased veteran, typically folded into a triangle and given during military funeral honors.
In the United States, this is usually the American flag that draped the casket: She kept her father's memorial flag in a display case.
The ceremonial presentation honors the veteran's service.
