Society of Sons and Daughters of WWII Veterans
During World War II, over sixteen million Americans-men and women alike-served in the United States Armed Forces. As their descendants, we have a duty to honor and preserve their legacy, and we invite you to join us in sharing and safeguarding their stories.
The Society of Sons and Daughters of WWII Veterans is a genealogy-focused initiative committed to keeping alive the memory and narratives of America’s "Greatest Generation."

About the Program
The Sons and Daughters program is a membership-based initiative of the National Museum of the Pacific War. It offers families a meaningful way to honor and preserve the legacy of their loved ones who served during World War II, ensuring that their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
Members can create and manage individual profiles for each family member who served, using a secure online portal to upload and organize documentation, photographs, and personal stories. In addition, members gain access to a private Facebook community where they can connect with others who share a commitment to remembrance and family history.
The program is open to anyone wishing to honor a relative who served in WWII. Membership is $250 for the first registrant and $50 for each additional family member added to the account. We offer two membership options listed below.
