My brother and I have a fairly large collection of military items that
we have built up over several years and now keep together in our museum. Our
collection now includes patches from
several army units including the 94th infantry, 1st
corps infantry ,7th corps, Patton’s
third army along with many more.
We also have service bars from world war two to the present day though
we have identified only a few. Our most prized possessions however are our
uniforms one of which is from the Vietnam war . Most though are more recent and
are from Desert storm and Urgent fury. We have Army, Air force, and Marine
uniforms though no Navy ones . My brother’s favorite uniform is a Marine
digital camo circa 1991. My favorite one is from the Vietnam war and the former
owner was in the third armored division. Most of our collection we got at a
local military surplus store and from flea markets.
Our library consists of over 100 books and almost 150 hours of
documentaries and other historical videos. Most of our books we get for 1.00 or
2.00 at our library resale room or at the Goodwill book store. Some of our
books are 40 or more years old but are in good condition. We specifically
collect material on World War Two and the America Civil War.
We have built up our collection for almost five years and it has cost us
a good deal but the result is pleasing and a very good source for finding out
about wars and conflicts throughout the ages .
