Vietnam in HD is a six-hour series narrated by Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and uses a cast of well-known actors to provide voices to Vietnam veterans’ stories. Unlike other documentaries and series that focus on Vietnam, Vietnam in HD uses rare, and never-before-seen videos and photos shot by soldiers during action. It is a sobering start to the Veterans Day 2016 marathon. Thirteen veterans share their stories and first-hand accounts. While famous actors provide voice overs for the vets’ stories, the Vietnam veterans also appear.

The voice cast of Vietnam in HD is as follows: Adrian Grenier as the voice of Barry Romo, Edward Burns as the voice of Joe Galloway, Kevin Connolly as the voice of Keith Connolly, Blair Underwood as the voice of Charles Brown, Tempestt Bledsoe as the voice of Elizabeth Allen, Jerry Ferrara as the voice of Raymond Torres, Zachary Levi as the voice of Karl Marlantes, James Marsden as the voice of Arthur Wiknik, Jennifer Love Hewitt as the voice of Anne Purcell, Glenn Howerton as the voice of Donald DeVore, as the voice of Armie Hammer as Gary Benedetti, Dylan McDermott as the voice of Jim Anderson and Dean Cain as the voice of Bob Clewall.

The Vietnam War lasted from approximately 1954 until 1975. The live footage captured during combat combined with the veterans personal stories makes Vietnam in HD one of the most compelling war documentaries. For those who want to honor and remember Vietnam veterans on Veterans Day 2016, Vietnam in HD is the perfect introduction to their stories. You may watch Vietnam in HD in the videos above.

The History Channel follows Vietnam In HD with its new series The Warfighters.

The next episode to air is Episode 8, “A Warrior’s Battle: The Story of Rob Guzzo.” Episode 8 focuses on an issue of extreme importance to veterans and their families: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Rob Guzzo is a Navy Seal who developed PTSD following combat in Iraq.

At 10 p.m. ET, the History Channel airs Season 1, Episode 9. “The Green Berets of 7115” takes a look at a U.S. Special Forces unit the Taliban ambushed in Afghanistan.

Though to some the idea of Hitler escaping Germany after WWII is the conjecture of conspiracy theorists, many people believe it is true. Because Hitler’s remains were not in-tact or disposed of in a manner where they could be properly identified, there will always be people who believe Hitler escaped. During this Veterans Day marathon, we remember those who fought, sacrificed and perished in Vietnam, as well as those who fought in WWII. The Warfighters looks at the struggle faced by soldiers who endured combat in some of history’s most recent battles. Did you know that Veterans Day is observed on November 11, because during World War I, there was an armistice between the Allied Forces and Germany? The armistice went into effect on Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m. That makes it the 11th hour, of the 11th month at 11 a.m. Veterans Day is celebrated around the world in allied nations that fought against Germany and the Central Powers during World War I. It is also known as Armistice Day. The U.S. Declared Veterans Day a national holiday in 1938. Watch a video below discussing Veterans Day history.

The Veterans Day marathon continues with two, back-to-back episodes of Third Reich: The Rise, that airs on Sat. at 6 p.m. ET, followed by Third Reich: The Fall at 8 p.m. ET.
