What started as a hobby collecting U.S. Marines memorabilia and artifacts in his basement, Frank Cornelius and his wife, Nancy, have turned into a museum that’s becoming a destination for veterans’ groups from around the country.

“This is a living museum for everybody,” Frank Cornelius said. “It’s to let people know what people in the past did, went through in all services of the military. … This is not for me to show what I’ve done, but to show what others have sacrificed.”

The 87-year-old Oneida Nation tribal member is a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars.

Cornelius enlisted with the Marines just out of high school in 1952 and was in charge of an 80-man platoon as a first lieutenant in Korea before being called up again in 1962 in Vietnam.
