Struggling to find meaning in the aftermath of World War I, man declared this long conflict, "The War to End All Wars." WWI was so horrific - in number of casualties, shattered families and divided nations - that humanity resolved to never again allow global warfare to threaten civilization. 70 years later we remain at war in other parts of the world, today honoring those who turned the tides of war at Normandy.

Since the journey of humanity first began, back in the dark ages, there has always been the eternal struggle for freedom with never ending wars. War results in the creation of new weapons which today include stealth technology, drones, surveillance, chemical warfare, among other covert projects that could annihilate the planet with the push of a button.
