IMPORTANT NOTICE
(please read!)
Inclusion of names in this state group has
been determined
solely by the residence of the next of kin at the time of the
notification of the last wartime casualty status. This
listing does not necessarily represent the State of birth,
legal residence, or official State credit according to
service enlistment.
Casualties listed represent only those on active
duty
in the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, resulting
directly from enemy action or from operational activities
against the enemy in war zones from December 7, 1941, to
the end of the war. Casualties in the United States area
or as a result of disease, homicide, or suicide in any
location are not included.
This is a State summary taken from casualty lists
released by the Navy Department, corrected as to the
most recent casualty status and recorded residence of
next of Kin.
Personnel listed as MISSING are under continuous
investigation by the Navy Department, and therefore
are subject to momentary status change. Many of these
will be officially presumed or determined dead. Some
will be found alive. The last official notice to next
of kin will take precedence over this list.
The WOUNDED tabulation represents a count by individuals
and includes only those whose next of kin were officially
notified during the war. It does not reflect the number
of wounds inflicted by the enemy since many individuals
were wounded more than once and many minor wounds were
recorded only by Purple Heart awards in the fields of
action. Complete data on all wounded navel personnel
will be available later.
