National World War 11 memorial

The American Battle Monuments Commission ( ABMC ) has an online WW11

Registry to document names of those who participated in history's largest and

most devastating war. The Registry is accessible on the web site of the National

World War 11 Memorial http://www.wwiimemorial.com. Any American that

served in the armed forces or contributed to the war effort on the home front,

whether in factories, shipyards or farms and neighborhoods, is eligible. There is

no charge to place a name in the Registry. You can also register via their toll - free

number, 1 - 800-639-4992.

The registry already contains more than one million records, most submitted by the

public. The database also includes National Archives and Records Administration list

of those killed in service during the war, and names of the Missing.

The memorial's official dedication ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, May 29, 2004

in Washington, D.C.
