Our Army's Treasures

Perhaps some of you were aware of this place. Not me. This is amazing. I'd love to see all that art up close.

Wow, awesome collection. The army needs to get this museum built so all can enjoy. Then, profits from the museum need to be donated to help military personnel who need medical care that they obviously are not getting from the VA.

$176 million? For the price of a single Air Force F-22 Raptor they could build the place.

I hope this gets done.

Some of the military's art collection is on display along the Mall Entrance corridor at the Pentagon. I believe (but could be wrong) that some of it gets rotated in and out on occasion. Pentagon tours are available to the public.

When I was stationed at The Pentagon back in the early 70's I used to admire the art work on a regular basis.
