It's what we call a "floating" sign because it isn't framed out. It looks like you just cut a rectangle of siding from a building (or, in this case, a crate) and hung it up.

Mr. Jasper Lee Lewis, Sr. was a retired Air Force Lt. Col. He was a combat veteran of WWII where he flew 30 missions in 64 days as a navigator on B-17s. He flew two missions over Normandy on D-Day and after leaving the service was called back to active duty in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict. Over the course of his service he received the Distinguished Flying Cross and many other combat medals. He remained in the Air Force Reserves until his retirement in 1981.
Mr. Lewis was also a teacher, serving more than 30 years in public education. He advanced to leadership roles and ultimately became Superintendent, where he was responsible for the complete desegregation of two North Carolina school systems. Later in life he and his wife, Louise, directed and managed farm and forestry operations for another 30 years.
Talk about a full life!? Mr. Lewis was influential, to say the least. Even in his memorial, I am inspired! What an honor to be part of remembering his great acts of valor and service to his community! I am proud to have provided some small token that honors him.
Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.
Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:6-9
You've fought the good fight. You've finished the race. You've kept the faith.
Onward Christian Soldier!
