About Bunker Military Store

The online version of Bunker Military Store started as a brick & mortar store in Exton, PA called The Bunker.  It operated first, in a little booth in Downingtown Farmers market for many years before moving to a store in a strip mall in Exton.  That's where I met Don, the original owner.  He hired me on to create an online presence.  Don eventually retired and I took over.   The shop was a local favorite for many years until 2006 when I had to shut it down due to the economy.  I continued the eBay store.  

I ended up moving to Caldwell Idaho in 2010.  I was lucky enough to find a military collectibles store here in town and was quickly employed there for 10 years until it closed its doors in 2021.  

Although the eBay store was doing well, I decided to open this website to sell some of the better collectibles and also things eBay prohibits from selling.

I miss both my old shop and the one here in town as I met so many great people including countless veterans from all eras.

One of my favorite things from both shops are the posters I had veterans sign.  I had a poster for each conflict and that particular veteran would sign the poster.  These and the stories told to me will always have a special place in my soul. 

One thing worth mentioning, I sell WW2 German items.  These are collectibles not a political statement.  I also sell items that may be named such as swords, medals..etc.  I reunite items when I can.  I have purchased such items directly from family members who don't want them.  Rather than thrown them in the trash, these get placed in the hands of collectors.  

 

I am a Navy vet having served on the USS Biddle CG-34.  I am also a former US Naval Sea Cadet Corps officer.  It is a great organization and if you want to help the youth, become an adult leader.  You don't have to be a Navy veteran or even a veteran at all.  Apply thru: https://www.seacadets.org/  to find your local group.  

 

Thank you to all of you! - Rob
