Grace’s second-oldest brother, U.S. Army Specialist Jarrett Kotalik, died unexpectedly at his Army base last summer.
“Because Jarrett was deeply patriotic, I drew inspiration from him in my planning,” says Grace.
Her project involved the construction of four uniquely designed flag retirement boxes, each honoring a different fallen hero. Grace will conduct dedication ceremonies at each of the boxes’ permanent locations across her Texas community. Anyone who has a U.S. flag that needs to be retired can drop it off in one of the boxes, and Grace will handle the rest.
The boxes will also contain QR codes linking to a website that will share the stories of the fallen heroes they were built to honor.
