Ukrainian American Veterans Vice Commander's Appeal Veteran's Registration Projects

APPEAL TO AMERICAN VETERANS Veterans History Project In June 2002, the Ukrainian American Veterans, Inc. became an Official Partner of the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Its main goal is to collect oral histories from World War II veterans. If you are a World War II US veteran, please let one of our members in your area interview you and get your history of service. Your interview will be sent to the Library of Congress with your consent. Visit our web site at www.uavets.org and link to the UAV Post in your area. Your military experience is very important and needs to be recorded. Official dedication of the World War II Monument in Washington, D. C. is scheduled for May 2004. UAV Reference Registration The UAV has developed a separate database that contains the names of Ukranian-American service men and women taken from published records. We have over 3000 names that appeared in 1943-1944 Honor Roll journals of Ukrainian Catholic parishes in New York City, NY, Newark, NJ and Akron, Ohio. These represent WWII service men and women on active duty at that time. With the World War II monument and Education Center in progress, we need to register thousands more that have served during that era. We need your help! Please check the archives of your parishes and help us in this endeavor! UAV Registration Project At the 51st National Convention in 1998, the Ukrainian American Veterans organization has undertaken a monumental task - the registration of American veterans of Ukrainian heritage. The purpose of this historical project is to publish the names of men and women of Ukrainian decent, who have honorably served or are on active duty in the US Armed Forces with emphasis on their contribution to the Military history of the United States of America. To this date we have over 600 registrants, with 401 fully documented (with copies of their DD214 form) registrations. The UAV Registration Project is open to all US Veterans of Ukrainian heritage. We appeal to you to register. You do not have to be a member of the UAV in order to do so. We also appeal to relatives and/or friends to register their loved ones. Don't let them be forgotten! For more information, write to: UAV REG PO Box 172 Holmdel, NJ 07733-0172 or send an e-mail to: UAV.REG@worldnet.att.net or visit our web site at: www.uavets.org and link to UAV Registration Brief History, and to UAV REG Form. You can print the form, fill it out, attach a copy of your DD214 form and mail it to us. Anna Krawczuk UAV National Vice Commander and UAV REG Coordinator
