More that 750 young men and women incarcerated during World War II at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center, despite being forced by the government to live in wooden barracks surrounded by barbed wire, left to serve their country in the U.S. Armed Forces. To recognize these citizens the camp's United Service Organization (USO) sponsored the construction of a "servicemen's roll call panel" during the summer of 1944. It was placed at this location by the camp's engineering department and was in front of the administration building.
Unfortunately, the full list of names displayed on the original Honor Roll has not survived. We do know that the original list included all service men and women whose families were incarcerated at the camp, including those who were already in the service prior to the start of the Second World War. It also included servicemen and women from families who were transferred to Heart Mountain from other camps. Also listed were names of Caucasian employees of the Center who left to serve in the military.
Using the original criteria, this list has been recreated using the Heart Mountain Relocation Center census from the National Archives, as well as information from the camp newspaper, "The Heart Mountain Sentinel." and from family and friends of those formerly incarcerated here.
The replica Honor Roll and new Flag Pole were provided and installed by the Heart Mountain, Wyoming, Foundation. Funding for these came solely from private donors, including Japanese Americans who were incarcerated at Heart Mountain, their descendants, and residents of the State of Wyoming. This list is as accurate as possible in 2002. Names can be added in the future if shown to belong on the Honor Roll.
In honor of the men from Heart Mountain serving in the armed forces of the United States of America in World War II.
