The "Hall of Valor," located on the first floor of the State Capitol,
displays Georgia's priceless collection of 82 historic flags from the
early Georgia militia, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, World
Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm
and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The flags are
properly exhibited in a museum environment and are constantly rotated
for their protection, as well as to provide an ever-changing display.
Although a limited
number of flags are shown at one time, there is a touch screen, located
to the right of the entrance, which provides an inventory of the
collection. An introduction into conservation methods for textiles and
flag protocol is featured for the viewer as well.
A bronze plaque,
which proudly hangs on the wall to the left of the entrance, honors
donors who have contributed to the care and preservation of the state's
historical collection.
