I am a retired Hoosier from Madison County residing in the Philippines with my Filipino
wife. We are seeking family and military information about servicemen from your county
killed in the South Pacific during World War II. There are 17,206 Americans buried here
and thousands more that are missing or buried at sea and are honored on the “Tablets of
the Missing”. Please visit our website to see the beautiful memorial located in Manila,
Philippines.

My wife and I visited the cemetery as visitors and left with a mission in our heart. We
have been taking photographs of the graves of the Indiana servicemen buried here and have
been uniting them (at no charge) with their family members in Indiana and across the
United States. To receive the photo of your family member all you need is a working email
address. We do not send them to regular mailing addresses due to the costs. Please help us
find the families of the men that might still be living. If you wish to help us we will
be pleased to add your name to our ACKNOWLEDGMENT page on the website. The obituaries
usually did not appear till to three months after the death date.
If you know of a serviceman that is not listed or reside in another county and wish to
have other lists please send a note to us.

Attached in your preference of PDF or Miscrosoft Excel is the list of names including the
servicemen from your county that are honored at the Manila American Cemetery Memorial.
