National World War II Memorial Dedication and

The World War II Registry of Remembrances

The long awaited official dedication date for the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. has been set for Saturday, May 29, 2004, during the Memorial Day weekend. The World War II Memorial is beautifully located on the National Mall close to the Washington Monument. A series of events will be scheduled for that weekend.

In conjunction with the national World War II Memorial a World War II Registry of Remembrances has been established. The purpose of the Registry of Remembrances is to permanently record and honor the names of those persons who contributed to our victory in World War II. To obtain information about the Registry, call the World War II Memorial Processing Center at: 1-866-364-2406 or go to: www.wwiiregistry.org For a $10.00 fee, payable to the World War II Memorial Fund, one photo may be added to an individual Honoree record in the Registry. For information on photo requirements call: 1-866-364-2407.

The Registry of Remembrances will be available to all visitors to the World War II Memorial or via the Internet on any home computer with web access.
