African-Americans have fought bravely for America throughout our history. But sadly, until recently, they didn't receive deserved commendations. This is the story of seven men who deserved the Medal of Honor for their valor during WWII, but only recently received their medals--six had already died. More than a million African-Americans served within the army's segregated ranks. Despite their bravery and courage, not one of the 432 Medal of Honors awarded went to a black soldier. Was the army racist? Did African-Americans receive appropriate training? We explore all these issues and more in breathtaking recreations as we document the stories of the seven black Congressional Medal of Honor winners. Vernon Baker is the last living awardee. Witness as President Clinton presents these medals to Baker and the proud family members of the other six.

Join us for an epic 2-hour look at the War of 1812.

In 1942, a lonely, desperate battle was waged in one of the most desolate places on earth. Few Americans realize that in WWII, Japan occupied U.S. territory, laying siege to the Aleutian Islands in the Alaskan north.

Focusing on a daring and dangerous operation that took place near WWII's end, this is the story of US missionaries and civilians trapped in the Philippines .

Patton's blitzkrieg is so successful that his army outruns its own supply lines. Despite being short on fuel and ammunition, he invades the province of Lorraine, hoping to cross into Germany before Christmas.
