Adams, is an hour in length and shows Texas A&M involvement from a military standpoint from the Spanish-American War and World War I to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

This 10-hour World War II drama/documentary premieres the week of November 15 on the History Channel with two hours airing each night. THIS PREVIEW IS THE FIRST TWO-HOUR SEGMENT. A Lou Reda Production narrated by Gary Sinese.
This ten-part series draws upon more than 3,000 hours of WWII footage selected from archives and private collections around the world. The story is told through the experiences of 12 main characters who served during the conflict. Their stories, culled from diaries, journals and new interviews, will be delivered with emotional impact by some of Hollywood's top talents, helping to recreate the war's events not as detached historical facts, but rather as profound experiences. The veterans themselves also appear, recounting their experiences first hand.
