The idea for an online registry came about after
Heldt was looking for a way to preserve information
about his twin uncles from Waconia, Milfred and
Willard, who served in World War II. Their story
has several paragraphs of detail, noting that the
identical twins began active duty Aug. 3, 1942,
shortly after celebrating their 22nd birthdays July
20.
