Discover the history of the American Graves Registration Service and the records they created for our honored war dead.

In this program you’ll learn what records were created by the American Grave Registration Service for World War I & World War II and how to access those records and tell your veteran's story. You'll learn online resources for locating information, and we'll explore POW records. You'll also have find access to death records.

Jennifer Holik will share a case study on James Privoznik who was Killed in Action 11 January 1945. Through our research, writing, and travel journey, she'll tell you his story and how she found information when most would say it is impossible.
