Remember today is the deadline to submit your loved ones information.

Dear Surviving Family Member,

The Department of Defense is committed to providing an enduring remembrance of service members who died while serving our nation. In that spirit, on Veterans Day, we are launching the Military In Lasting Tribute memorial, an online memorial honoring service members who died while on active duty from 1985 to the present. It will be the only DOD memorial to include peacetime deaths.

Once the memorial launches, family and friends of eligible service members will be able to submit their loved ones through a form on the website to be honored on the memorial. However, we are providing you with an opportunity to submit your deceased service member’s name for inclusion on the memorial in advance of the website launch on Nov. 11, 2021.

If you are interested in this opportunity to have your service member on the memorial at launch, we ask that you provide by email information from your service member’s Report of Casualty DD Form 1300, a photo of your service member, if available, and some information about yourself. Your submission should include:

• Your first and last name, relationship to your service member, phone number and email address.
• Your service member’s information from the DD Form 1300 (be sure you provide the information listed on the form so we can match it against DOD records):
o First name
o Last name
o Middle name
o Service branch
o Component
o Rank
o Date of death

If you provide a photo, it must:

• Show only your service member, dressed in their military uniform or business attire. We recommend the photo be in portrait orientation.
• Be in PNG or JPG format, with a maximum file size of 5MB.

The photo must have either been taken by the submitter, or the photographer must have granted permission for its use.
If you don’t have a photo that meets these requirements, you can opt to show your service member’s service branch seal instead.

Email the information above and your service member’s photo to [email protected] by Oct. 20, 2021.

In the hearts of our nation, no one holds more honor and respect than our deceased service members. Our nation and our military are eternally grateful to them — and to you, their survivors. Help us pay tribute to these heroes by submitting their names to be honored on the memorial.
