thank all the dead American fighters along with those who perished while fighting in the World War, of which over 65 million perished (although some reports say more than 85 million). Lets not have another WWIII.
According to statistics released by the Veteran’s Administration, our World War II vets are dying at a rate of approximately 492 a day. This means there are approximately only 855,070 veterans remaining of the 16 million who served our nation in World War II.
This urgency guides the Museum in everything we do. Collecting the oral history of a veteran, donating an artifact, creating a Personal Page, or contributing to the Museum are only a few of the ways you can help us to preserve the legacy of the Greatest Generation.
