Part III, Line 1a:	The Museum's collections comprise in excess of 40,000 military artifacts and art objects from America's involvement in wars and conflicts from all areas of the world. They offer a glimpse into the lives of soldiers from the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam, all the way through Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom and the Afghanistan War. The Museum has the nation's second largest collection of Holocaust memorabilia and the world's second largest collection of artifacts from 9/11from both the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon. The collections are maintained to preserve the memory of all individuals that served in the United States Military and wars on terrorism.
