The Tennessee State Library and Archives is hoping to preserve the artifacts of war for future generations.Myers Brown is the archives’ director of archival collections services. He said donating artifacts to the archives helps keep the service of the Tennessee men and women in the armed forces alive.“If it all just gets tossed away, then it’s another piece of the puzzle that’s lost,” Brown said. “When you take their personal letters and their personal photographs, it puts a face to otherwise what are just statistics.”
