They have a wonderful aspect to the WWII Memorial, electronic kiosks which list WWII Vets, and where family and friends can look up their loved ones and see their service records and awards. The key, however, is that only Vets who died in action or who are officially listed as missing in action are automatically registered. Anyone else has to register themselves or be registered by someone.
Here is the link to the registry:

You can also add a picture, and whatever biographical info (unit, where served, battles, medals won, etc.) you would like.
I plan to register my grandfather (who is a veteran of the Korean War, WWII, and Vietnam) and present him with a print-out of his registry for a Father's Day gift.
Please consider doing something similar for any veteran you know and love.
