global instability that is what we do >> you support and encourage ongoing dialogue between the u.s. and europe and other nations. >> we convene, advocate, write we are a think tank and do convene the real whose who tonight's dinner we are honouring harry we will have henry kissingger and colin powell and the whose who of the establishment and 50 ambassadors. >> tell us why prince harry is receiving this award? we have kind of said in one line but a lot of folks don't know about the work he does. >> prince harry impresses us for two reasons first of all, in our country, it is not every person of privilege who goes to war. here is a person of privilege going to the afghan front lines he is an apache helicopter

pilot he serves. that is a good sign for kids, he is 27 years old. he has seen his comrades fallen, psychologically scarred he and his brother, started the prince william and harry foundation which looks after the rewhat hillation and reintegration of veterans back into society. >> and that foundation, has done, quite a bit of work over a period of time now, harry is accepting this award on his own behalf or him and his brother >> on behalf of him and his brother and the foundation it is also a fitting award because we are honouring the men and women, enlested men and women of the u.s. military tonight as well, 1.5 million of them, for their uninterrupted 11 years of combat, that in american history we have never had that long a combat and our chairman, a two time purple heart himself, will be presenting that award. general powell will be

glimpse of him where might they be able to do that. >> the dinner is at the ritz carleton hotel but i can as sure you there will be enough security glimpses won't be too terribly close. >> all right then he leaves afterwards. >> then he is leaving soon afterwards come in particularly for this award and i think the reason he has taken it there is a lot of tabloid attention to prince harry but this is serious united nations secretary general, moon will get an award presented by henry kissinger. and is great violinist, and then, the ceo of unilever paul pole man this is a great crowd, and i think prince harry looked at this and said this is serious, this is where i would really like to have my foundation recognized. have fun tonight. >> thank you very much. >> thanks for coming in. allison.

years how did you go about deciding. >> we have 200 objects here from all different eras and regions we made lists went to historical societies, did a lot of shopping on ebay and at antique stores and people's attics and basements. >> so i think it is funny when you go and take a look and say okay now they had to put that in there. like the farah fawcett poster >> absolutely. >> clearly that was in a lot of homes. >> yes. >> one thing we are trying to do everyone is telling a story about certain place in the home so, of course tara we have from maybe a -- farah fawcett we have from a teenage boys room, talking about teenage years and how we are separating that in the is the 70s. >> you said one of the things people wanted to talk about was priorities. >> absolutely just from the things we are looking at here that on the floor is a home exercise machine, it is an early one and that is showing,

the focus on health and exercise and that you can do that right in your own home of course it is like a rowing machine we tried to use it when we first picked it up at antique store. >> then you were injured and you were like no. >> exactly. >> we look at the different objects and see people's priorities it is a statement on them. but then you said you also thought these objects spoke to the possibilities. >> well, sure. i mean there is a lot of aspirational things here that maybe not everybody has. we do have in this gallery, kind of arranged by room, the room in the house, and then in this gallery we have a tiffany lamp, from the new york historical society the real deal. we have all different kinds of things a radio speaks what you would do in the home and where you would be while having that type of entertainment. >> what do you think people would be surprised to see somethings they would be

surprised. >> they might not know what somethings are from the yarn swift here, used towind skeins of yarn and the joy stick right there, on the atari. >> i love it. unfortunately i do know what it is. that speaks to my age. what do you talk about in terms of where the home goes from here. >> in future? >> mm-hmm. >> that is a good question. i think we are going to be seeing a lot of things that are not necessarily connected to a certain room, when we were putting these together we had an idea which room you would use that in and now people are using their homes in different ways like the wireless technology that can be any where and do different things. the other thing i think would have been hard for you all in terms of getting everything in, is that what is home or what is normal, is different depending on where you live. >> absolutely. and that is something you know,

certainly isn't comprehensive, not everything you ever might have had in your home but we want to give people a starting off point to have a conversation. somethings people might not be familiar with if you don't have a front porch or backyard or parlour you might not have some of these things. >> in addition i just want to make sure we got in, you have 14 wonderful models of iconic homes. >> yes absolutely everything from mount vernon right here, all the way to the gary house and they are all scale models based on the hancock tower, in chicago, an apartment building and multiuse building but you can see how tall it is there, at the end of the gallery. >> very cool. >> thank you so much for letting us get an early look at this myfoxdc.com our website we have a link to the national building museum this exhibit is on for five years you have time but take some time when you come to see the house and home exhibit i think you will enjoy it more fox 5 morning news when we come back stay with us [ female announcer ] safeway presents
