Each of the artifacts in this section connect to our ancestors' experiences in the military. Some of our grandparents and great grandparents served in the military. There are artifacts from different wars, as our ancestors may have been defending America, Israel, or another country. There were Jewish soldiers who served in the American army, and you will see an army hat here, some award certificates and a purple heart that our relatives received for their deeds in the army.
