There is no accurate, official list of the World War II fallen.
The mission of Stories Behind the Stars is to create an accurate, complete list of these fallen and make sure that each one of them has a story that can be read at their gravesites or memorials, anywhere in the world.
The best way to create this list is state by state.
We have now had state directors work on compiling these historic, first-ever lists in 33 states. A few of them have recently moved on, so we will need new people to take their place.
We can use your help to (1) find all the names that belong on their state list, and (2) write stories of all these WWII fallen.
You can email any of them to find out how you can help.
