    He may never read braille. one thing that would work is raised letters they can be felt and read.

    Jody,

    The box is a fantastic tribute, it looks like the type of thing that all retiring servicemen should receive, it's definitely a winner in my opinion. Excellent work and I know that the person who receives this is going to have a problem keeping his eyes dry.

    Update on the Braille

    Seems the gentleman has refused to learn at this point. I want to thank everyone who took the time and effort to lend a hand on this endeavor. Hopefully in the future he will come to grips with this and begin learning. For now we are just going to engrave in a simple font that he can feel.

    Jody,

    Most schools are teaching tatical form now. Basically raised lettering and picture forms.

    I have a friend that lost his eyesight , it takes time to adjust. This is a woodcarving my friend did. He has no sight but it is amazing what they can do if they set mind to doing so.
