Speakers said Standing Watch will feature costumed reenactors representing multiple military eras and a range of artifacts and personal items lent by private collectors.
"I believe we're even going to have a World War II jeep there," Crystal said when describing the display. Gary added that he would bring a replica of George Washington's pistol and that a Vietnam helicopter pilot will bring his original pilot helmet.
Artifacts will be displayed in a separate room from the uniform showcase, and organizers said they expect private collectors to contribute items from conflicts including Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and Afghanistan.
