I've hears that it has changed some lately. That would be a real loss and shame to a fine tradition.
My point being, that it is very difficult to keep a hold of such things when your in the service, especially in the Navy. So when she get backs to her permenant duty station, have her send the certificate to you so that you can get it framed.
I was lucky that I thought to mail the certificate to my parents home, they held onto to for me. Once I got out, I had it framed and I've able to hold onto to it now for 40 years. I believe handling it this way is the best way to preserve your memories. I can tell that you only want the best for your daughter so this is why I suggest this to you.
