During the dedication event for the Minnesota World War II Memorial on June 9, 2007, a list of those individuals Killed in Action (KIA) was read.
The list came from the National Archives and consists of 7,873 individuals. The National Archive lists are based on the county and state where the individual entered the service. We have only included those who entered the service from Minnesota. For the complete lists, visit:
Note: The lists don't include those listed at Missing in Action (MIA). It is estimated that there are about 78,000 MIA persons from WWII. We don't have a number for those only from Minnesota. For more information on MIA, KIA and Prisoners of War (POW), see /extras/miakiapow.htm.
The individuals whose last name starts with the letter "K" are:
