It is very important for you to register  in our data base, a form is provided from our website.
<a href="http://www.awon.org/">AWON</a><P>
We receive inquiries from WWII vets seeking the families of their 
buddies who were killed in the war as well as inquiries from relatives 
seeking others whose fathers served in the same units with their loved
ones. 
We will send you information about AWON, information on signing up
for our internet group, and a newsletter in the U.S. mail after we receive your 
registration/application form. 
The form can be sent electronically filled out or copied and sent by U.S. mail.
 
From our website, you can  get more information about 
AWON, get a list of basic records you should send for, and information
on Touchstones: A Guide to Records, Rights and Resources for Families of
World War II Casualties  which others have found extremely helpful.
 
For several years we have been registering in our data base the sons, 
daughters, and other family members, of Americans who were killed in
World War II. We have the only existing data base of family members of
American WWII dead.   
If you are an orphan or other family member of someone who was killed in 
WWII, it is important to at least register with AWON. This information
is never released outside our group without contacting you for permission.
The data collected is helping us put families in touch with others who may
have information for them and keep family members informed of sources of 
information and issues which concern them.
You can also join our membership at our website.

There are many benefits to membership, both tangible and intangible. 
For  example, with your membership you will receive a quarterly newsletter
and become a member of our on-line e-mail list serve, which is lively and 
informative. Many of our members have links to veterans' organizations
and research capabilities. An important but intangible benefit is the
opportunity to meet and talk to others like yourself  whose fathers died in WWII.
