Why should I submit a World War II soldier to the database?

Ike’s Soldiers is a wonderful way to honor a soldier in your life, and it also serves as a platform to preserve their military story and experience. The Honor Roll is an excellent genealogy resource and digital database of records for research and preservation. Refer to the handout for more information on the benefits of submitting to/utilizing Ike’s Soldiers Honor Roll.

Does it cost anything to submit a soldier to the database?

No! The Ike’s Soldiers Honor Roll is free to the public to submit soldiers and utilize.

Can I submit soldiers from any U.S. war? What about soldiers who fought for countries other than the United States?

No. The database is intended for American World War II soldiers. The mission of Ike’s Soldiers is to honor Dwight D. Eisenhower’s legacy through the personal accounts of the soldiers he led and share them with the world.

What should I include in my submission?

The online form includes a number of components. We ask that you include a minimum of the soldier’s First Name, Last Name, Branch of Service, Date of Birth, Date of Death, and a basic biography. Fill out as much information as possible – the more details about the soldier, the better! You can also submit additional materials, such as photos, documents, oral history interviews, or videos of the soldier.
