Question
A good friend of mind served in Vietnam and just died from ALS. I want to give
his wife a flag case with an engraved name plate. His rank was Specialist 5th
Class. Is this the proper way to have it engraved: US Army Spec 5th Class David
Monette?
Matt:
I would engrave it without the 'Class'. While not improper to include it, most people would better know it by "Specialist 5". Your tribute is an extremely courteous and thoughtful gesture that will undoubtedly be cherished for years to come.
