...only if the casualty is one of the small percentage whose grave is cared for by the ABMC or who was MiA (ie so their name is on an ABMC cared for memorial). Re-patriated known casualties aren't listed on here.

We only have the records of those casualties that are buried in our cemeteries or listed on the Walls of the Missing -- a total of 176,399 records. There were 405,399 American casualties in World War II.
