Default Unit Rosters: Collect them now or cry later.

Unit Rosters: Collect them now or cry later.

Many veterans who served in prior wars deeply regret that they failed
to collect the names and hometowns of the men and women they served
with. These contacts are invaluable in later years to substantiate
injuries, medal eligibility, historical information or form unit
associations for reunions.

Military personnel on active duty today should begin immediately to
collect the names, addresses or hometowns of the men and women in
their unit.

Unit rosters can be collected by asking your HQ admin specialist for a
copy of any Morning Report or Daily Personnel list. Home addresses or
towns can be added to each name simply by passing the list around to
each member of the unit. Or, a unit roster can be created simply by
passing out the Unit Roster form linked below..

After obtaining unit rosters they should be copied, if possible, and
mailed to several family members at home for safekeeping. Lists can
also be mailed to The War Library for preservation and later
retrieval.

The most important thing any you can do to ensure you can later obtain
information, witnesses or future contacts with the people you served
with is to collect unit rosters today.
