Online Registry for World War II Vets The American Battle Monuments Commission unveiled an online registry listing the names of those who served in World War II. Any American who served in the armed forces or contributed to the war effort on the home front is eligible for inclusion. There is no charge to place a name in the registry. Veterans can be enrolled through the World War II Registry web site or by calling the memorial's toll free number at 1-800-639-4WW2. The registry contains more than 1 million records, most submitted by the public. The database also includes National Archives and Records Administration lists of those killed in service during the war, and the names of those buried in American Battle Monuments Commission overseas cemeteries or listed on its Tablets of the Missing. 12:13:30 AM  comment []
