Important Notice:
Inclusion of names in this State Group has
been determined solely
by the residence of next of kin at the time of 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 Cost Guard, resulting directly from enemy ection
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 reslut of diseas, 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 offical 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 naval personnel
will be available later.
