Go here, and find out. I posted this link in another thread, but thought you might want it as a thread all to itself. If you want to see my great uncle's page, in the search engine type: Johnson, Bruce, Tennessee. His name comes up in two places...one in the log for the cemetery where he's buried (Normandy), and one in the National Archives.

Do you have a relative or friend who served? I'll bet their name is here. BTW, if you have someone in your family, or if you contributed to WWII's success, (even if you/he/she weren't in the military), you can have YOUR name as part of the National WWII Memorial. The homepage is www.wwiimemorial.com

You can follow the links to the search page...or you can go to the search page by following this link.

In Memoriam :patriot:

BTW, I think it would be nice if you could recommend this thread so that more can see it, and use the info, if they like...and, if you want.

Peace.

ON EDIT: LOOK LOOK....Here is a link to the National Archives page where you can hunt for the enlistment records of your loved ones.

I did it for my great uncle===and with just a little bit of searching found this:

http://aad.archives.gov/aad/record-detail.jsp?dt=893&mtch=74&cat=all&tf=F&q=Bruce+Johnson&rpp=10&pg=1&rid=1964281&rlst=282140,324492,476612,1107497,1122656,1351990,1359068,1547019,1816747,1964281

HERE'S THE PAGE...on the right hand side are links to follow to find people from all the past wars up to Vietnam. It's really cool:

ON EDIT AGAIN: If you find them, link to the page, if you want. It would be a great memorial here on DU.
