Source of the Names of the Fallen Heroes
The names of fallen service members engraved on the Memorial are taken from the official Department of Defense casualty reports for:
AFGHANISTAN
- Operation Enduring Freedom October, 2001 to December, 2014
- Operation Freedom's Sentinel January, 2015 to August, 2021
IRAQ
- Operation Iraqi Freedom March, 2003 to August, 2010
- Operation New Dawn September, 2010 to December, 2011
- Operation Inherent Resolve October, 2014 to December, 2021
The decision to include a death within one of these casualty reports rests exclusively with the Department of Defense. The caretakers of the Memorial use these lists as the basis for what names to include. Consistent with the stated purpose of the Memorial, the only changes to these lists have been to include only the deaths of uniformed service members from the military and the U.S. Coast Guard. While honored, the names of American service members who have died while on duty but not related to these conflicts are not engraved in this Memorial.
