Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it, and the story of the wars fought in Vietnam from the 1940s to the 1970s is one from which many lessons can be learned. Initially a conflict involving a wounded post-war France attempting to re-take and hold its former colony, the fighting in Vietnam would become less a battle over territory and independence, and more an ideological battleground where the contrasting philosophies of east and west would meet head-on in an explosion of politics, culture and napalm.
It was the war without fronts, where U.S. troops faced enemies without uniforms who could seemingly disappear from the battlefield without trace.

The History Channel remembers the 60th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, D-Day, that historic day on June 6, 1944, when the Allies stormed the shores of Normandy in occupied France with a huge military force, changing the face of World War II.

To this day it is considered the largest naval invasion in history. Paratroopers from Unit 502 of the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army played a key role on the eve of the Allied invasion of the Normandy shores of France.
