- Gettysburg - Bloodied, exhausted and out of ammunition, yet entrusted with holding the Union flank, the 20th Maine's stunning bayonet charge rolled back the onrushing 15th Alabama - and helped turn the tide of war.
- Tarawa - In a conflict remarkable for the extraordinary courage displayed by both sides, US Marines overcame poor military planning and furious Japanese counterattacks to take the most heavily defended Pacific atoll that would ever be invaded by the Allied forces.
