911 Name List of Victims
About this Site:
Those who died on September 11,
2001 From CNN
New York
City, Washington, D.C. and
Pennsylvania when terrorists hijacked
four U.S. planes on September 11,
2001. The list includes those listed as "confirmed dead" and "reported
dead" by the Associated Press which defines the terms as follows:
- CONFIRMED DEAD
Includes victims who have been confirmed dead by a coroner's office or
the Defense Department. It also includes those a court has declared
legally dead, even if no body has been recovered. Once the court has
made such a finding, a death certificate can be issued.
- REPORTED DEAD
Includes those whose deaths have been reported by family, employers,
mortuaries, places of worship or by the airlines that listed them as
aboard one of the four flights. Includes people for whom memorial
services have been held, even if their bodies have not been recovered or
positively identified. (Those identified by federal authorities as the
hijackers are not included).
Personal information accompanying the individual records comes from
CNN reports, newspaper obituaries and information submitted by friends and
family. The photos were submitted to CNN by friends or family of the
victims or used with permission from media partners as noted on each
photo. The site was archived in August 2004.

Memorial List
Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial
Day is more than just a three-day weekend and unofficial kickoff to summer. It's
a day to remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their
country. So let's look back on why we have this holiday. I have sites that
explain its history. I also gathered sites that represent some of the conflicts
America has been in.
REMEMBER
Many
holidays lose their meaning over time. With the recent conflict in Iraq, this
year's Memorial Day should regain some of its lost meaning.
Decoration
Day
Memorial
Day was originally known as Decoration Day because it was a time set aside to
honor the nation's Civil War dead by decorating their graves. Find other
interesting historical facts about the holiday, war and conflicts, and
more.
Tradition
Instead
of roasting hot dogs and hamburgers, this site gives alternate ways to observe
the holiday. It also lists speeches delivered on Memorial Day by previous
presidents.
Virtual tribute
In
the late 1800s, flags were flown at half-mast and people decorated the graves of
the fallen soldiers. Today, to honor America's men and women, a virtual Wall has
been established. All are welcome to contribute their
thoughts.
MASSIVE
CONFLICTS
Unfortunately,
many Americans have died for their country. Here are sites that provide
information on the largest of U.S. conflicts.
Civil War
This
site provides a searchable list of those who died during the Civil
War.
The war to end all
wars
This
site is an online encyclopedia of World War I. It provides a chronology, war
statistics and more.
WWII
The
WWII Memorial in Washington will be dedicated May 29, 2004. It will honor all
Americans who served during the war, including the more than 400,000 who
died.
Korean War
You'll
find information on every Korean War unit, including listings of POWs, MIAs and
those wounded in action.
Vietnam War
This
site seeks to return dog tags found in Vietnam to their respective families. The
dog tags were found in markets; see if someone you know is on the
list.
The wall
The
Virtual Wall on the Web contains letters, photographs, and more honoring the men
and women whose names are on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in
Washington.
Most
listed
The
U.S. National Archives provides you with the tools to search for American
casualties by name and state. You can find information on World War II, the
Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Gulf War
I
This
site pays tribute to those who died during the first Gulf War. Casualties are
listed by state.
Gulf War
II
CNN
has a list of all coalition forces killed in action during the most recent Gulf
War. The listing is alphabetical.
AND
FINALLY...
More to
remember
Many
Americans have died in conflicts other than those listed above. This site
ensures that those conflicts and casualties are not
forgotten.
