The record
A three-metre section in Virginia's state war museum.
A section about three metres across at the Virginia War Museum, whose collection runs from 1775 to the present. It sits with Fort Benning, Fort Knox, Fort Leavenworth and the Patton Museum in the American military cluster — institutions that keep a piece of the thing their own people stood opposite.
In 2009 the museum built an exhibit for the twentieth anniversary of the fall around the piece it already held.
