Here We Go

Start your search by finding him/her at the Navy Log. Now keep in mind that this database, although large, does not contain all personnel that's ever been in the United States Naval Service. It displays those who submit profiles to the Navy Memorial Foundation and Heritage Center. Additionally, those who have donated to the Foundation are already listed.

If you haven't done so already, they encourage you to submit information about your loved one (or yourself) with a slight summary about his or her experiences in the military. A picture is optional, and a $25-50 fee is required. This includes any and all personnel that's part of the United States Naval Service (Sailors, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, etc.). It's a good way to commemorate those persons special to you, or to add yourself to a part of history.
