This year the Military Memories gallery has many interesting artifacts. We have two sets of dog tags, a helmet that a pilot wore, photos and an army hat. The military armed forces are really important because they protect our country. A person has to be really brave to serve in the military. Many Jews have fought in wars like World War I, World War II, The Korean War and the Vietnam War. Although America's part in many of these wars had no Jewish connection, many Jews wanted to help defend the USA and its allies. Many men and women have served in our defense for over 237 years, each with a great story to tell.
