In Memory

The following list was created in the memory of the

" Delawarean's "

who

"Gave Their All "

to their State and Country during World War II.

Soldier's, Sailor's, and Merchant Mariners are all included in this listing !

         There are personal " Online Memorials " for each of these honored men and women that were created for them by using the " Find A Grave Website ".   On the " Majority " of the online memorials you will see a small biography for each soldier which may include:

Parent's, Grandparent's & Sibling's Names,
where & when they were born,
where they grew up,
when & where they enlisted in the service,
the military unit they were part of,
" AND "
where and how they actually died during the war !

If you see one without a biography, picture, or you have more information on them please send me an Email at

russpickde@comcast.net - ( or by clicking here )

I'll update their records as quickly as possible .....

Whether a soldier or sailor was " Killed In Action ", " Missing In Action ",
" Died of Wounds ", or even died in the " Line Of Duty "   ......   

Whether a soldier or sailor was awarded medals or not   ......   

They are all " HEROES " in my book and deserve all the recognition they can get !!
