A brand new display room opened in September of 2007.
Highlights include 13-full mannequins dressed in uniforms, including 4-different World War Two female uniforms, and a World War One female Navy uniform. Rounding out this display are two World War Two German officer uniforms, and several World War One U.S. uniforms.
144 Distinct World War Two shoulder sleeve insignia worn by service personal are identified and displayed, a collection that was assembled through the "Letters from Home" letter writing campaign carried on by women in Fort Dodge during the wartime. These women wrote over 8,000 letters to service personnel during the wartime, and several service personal sent a shoulder sleeve insignia from their unit home to these women in Fort Dodge.
Also included in the room are captured German and Japanese World War Two souvenirs, which include helmets, knives, medals, and firearms.
The World War One display also includes German souvenirs, such as spike helmets, hats, bayonets, and other assorted items.
The display also features U.S., German, and Japanese military items from World War Two and U.S. and German items from World War One.
