"It's time to
say thank you"
What is the World War II Memorial?
The national World War II is a long overdue tribute to the individual Americans who helped win World War II, the largest war of all time and the defining event of the twentieth century. The Memorial has been built on the Mall in Washington, D.C. between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. The Memorial honors the 16 million veterans who bravely fought to defend freedom, and millions more on the home front who contributed to the war effort, and to the high moral purpose that motivated the nation's call to arms. Never before or since has our country shared such a common bond of purpose and determination. This is the first national memorial acknowledging the commitment and achievement of the entire nation.
What is the World War II Registry of Remembrances?
The World War II Registry of Remembrances lists the names of individual Americans who
participated in the war effort, to be recorded for all time in the annals of history. There is also an option to have a photo recorded. The Registry will be kept on public display in Washington,D.C. so future generations will always remember the sacrifices of America's World War II generation.
Who is eligible for the Registry of Remembrances?
Anyone who served in the armed forces during World War II, and any civilian who helped on the home front, is eligible for the Registry. Home front activities include working in defense-related industries, recycling materials needed for the war effort, Red Cross work, helping out at the USO and more. You may register your own name or that of a family member or friend. THERE IS NO COST for registering names and description of role in the war effort. There is a $10.00 charge for recording photos.
