The twentieth century can truly be said to have been America's century. As a nation reached a position of world leader, her towns and cities changed at an unprecedented pace. With the approach to the millennium, the topic of change is on everyone's mind—how our communities and lifestyles have changed over the past century, and how we can endeavor to preserve the past while facing the future in which the world seems to change ever faster. The American Century series documents and celebrates our most recent history—featuring images of faces and places which were taken within living memory and yet that already seems to belong to a long-past era.

This episode will be of interest both to World War II veterans and to those young men who have yet to fulfill their military obligation. "I Know Where I Am Going," a fast-moving feature, explains the choice available to a young man to serve a six-month period of military duty with the Army and then return to civilian pursuits while remaining in the Active Reserve. The potential employer's viewpoint is brought home in a comparison of the jobs offered a man who has finished his obligatory military training and the temporary work available to a young man waiting to be drafted. "Cantigny," the second story, shows the new museum of the Army's famous First Division. Many electronic and mechanical graphic devices demonstrate the highlights of the proud history of the Big Red One.
