Collecting war souvenirs is a practice as old as combat itself. Roman armor, Spartan shields and other spoils of war often were displayed as war trophies, and relics from modern-day battles have found homes in museums, quarterdecks and living rooms. Service members in World War II and Vietnam faced fewer rules than those in place today. Military regulations and international laws of war prevent and control what service members are allowed to bring home. It was in 1969 that the rules began to tighten as Vietnam began winding down.
