Description
This virtual museum that is perpetually being grown and improved upon by volunteers. It is here to honor those who served in World War 2 by collecting, organizing, and displaying personal stories, memories, photos, and heirlooms.
Please Participate
Do you have a family member who participated in World War 2? Please add them to the museum.
If you only have a minute, simply write a note on the Bulletin Board to the right. Include your family member's name, branch of service, unit, or any other information you know about them. A volunteer will transfer your entry to the appropriate place.
You can create a richer "museum exhibit" by adding a profile of your veteran. You don't need to include any family information but WikiTree is designed to enable you to keep it private if you choose to enter personal family history.
You can also create a page about a specific experience, battle, story, military heirloom, or anything else. Click here to create the profile.
If your family member is still living, consider asking them these World War 2 interview questions and then putting their answers on WikiTree.
If you want any help, please contact Chris Whitten.
