Marc W. Sammis brings decades of military and museum experience to his lectures. He served 26 years in both the Active Army and Army Reserve, followed by 28 years with the Army Museum Enterprise, including 11 years as collection manager for the National Museum of the Army and 17 years managing the collection at the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis.
