The artifacts have a bearing on Moore's accomplishments in both the private and public sector. He was involved with multiple Republican conventions and the inaugurations of Republican presidents (notably Nixon and Reagan's re-elections); political buttons, bumper stickers, ribbons, license plates, T-shirts and other campaign memorabilia represent his involvement. Plaques and coins were given to him by foreign officials relate to his service during George W. Bush's administration first as the assistant secretary of defense for legislative affairs and then as representative of the United States secretary of defense to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Mr. Moore has cited the construction of the Berlin Wall while serving abroad as a reason why he joined the Republican party. His first significant position in politics was serving as press secretary for Senator Richard B. Russell; artifacts are associated with the dedication of ships and landmarks in Senator Russell's name, as well as those related to other prominent Southern political figures with whom he interacted.
