Museum Support Center protects Army history

Old Glory An early American flag, with only 37 stars, sits framed and mounted to keep from further decomposition at the Museum Support Center at Fort Belvoir, Va.

The sign, "Museum Support Center," has the same cut and look as any other sign on Fort Belvoir. See more about the National Museum of the U. S. Army's Museum Support Center at Fort Belvoir, VA.
