At the U.S. Army’s vast Ft. Belvoir historical archives, of course: [Inside The Army's Spectacular Hidden Treasure Room](http://www.buzzfeed.com/bennyjohnson/inside-the-armys-spectacular-hidden-treasure-room?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Politics+220&utm_content=Politics+220+CID_9f43ad274dc9ddadf739817688bc6533&utm_source=Campaign%20Monitor&utm_term=Inside%20The%20Armys%20Spectacular%20Hidden%20Treasure%20Room) I’ve already donated to the museum project mentioned at the end of the article. Hope you’ll consider doing so, too: [https://armyhistory.org/](https://armyhistory.org/) ---
