The National WWII Memorial was dedicated in Washington, DC earlier this year. I looked at their website a few weeks ago and found that you can register any American who contributed to the war effort, either in the armed forces or on the home front (civil defense, shipyards, factories that supplied the troops, etc.) A photo can be included (either from the war years or more recent), as well as a blurb about their service activity. They arrange the info into a pretty nice printable certificate, and store it permanently on the website.

To view examples (the ones I registered), click on WWII Registry, click on Search the Registry, type Matlosz into the Last Name field, click Submit, then select Anthony, Augustine, or Tadeus (my father and uncles).
