Harris Gilroy is a cabinetmaker by trade. But, tucked in the back of his woodworking shop in Vista, he has a hidden treasure that he calls his "World War II minimuseum," although it doesn't just feature items from WWII. "The first room contains (items from) Vietnam, Gulf War, with a little bit of Korea," Gilroy said. "But the real guts of the museum is the WWII collection in the back room. There's over 2,000 artifacts ... a life's collection." The walls are filled with military memorabilia including uniforms, armaments, and insignia.
