  Jamestown Settlement, VA, has a timeline event every March called Military
Through the Ages. The last few years have been, essentially, Viking to
Vietnam. The biggest one I saw (before they started running out of space to
put people) was Rome to (Persian) Gulf War I. There is a story, almost
certainly apocryphal, about a clerk in the 7-11 closest to Jamestown.

It is said that one MTA weekend, this guy saw a bunch of Wehrmacht come in,
and pointed them to the Beck's. Some US GIs from the Korea affair were
pointed to the Pabst and Schlitz. Landsknechts were sent in the same
direction as their compatriots from WW II. Then, in walked a bunch of guys
from the XX Legion. The clerk eyed them up and down, and spoke:
