Welcome to Stars of Sacrifice: WWII—the official podcast of Stories Behind the Stars.
More than 421,000 Americans lost their lives in World War II. Every one of them had a story worth saving—and worth sharing.


When a serviceman or servicewoman was killed in action, their family was presented with a banner bearing a single gold star. Stories Behind the Stars was created to ensure those stars are never forgotten by building one central digital home for the stories of the more than 421,000 Americans who gave their lives in service to our nation.


This national effort—researched, written, and financially supported by people who believe the fallen must be remembered—exists to ensure future generations can learn about the Americans who paid the ultimate price for freedoms we too often take for granted.


Stories Behind the Stars partners with genealogy and historical organizations across the country. Through Stars of Sacrifice: WWII podcast, we bring these stories to life on an audio platform—reaching younger generations, those who are able to dream because of the brave.

Press play, and step into the stories of those whose courage shaped the world we live in today.

    Sep 27 2026
    Harry Cybak, Jr., had grown up in a large immigrant family in a Pennsylvania coal town. He worked hard. He answered his country's call before America had even formally entered the war. He trained, crossed an ocean, and prepared to join a battle that would help determine the outcome of the war in Europe. He never had the opportunity to reach that battlefield. Instead, his service ended in the English Channel on Christmas 1944.
    Welcome to Stars of Sacrifice: WWII, the official podcast of Stories Behind the Stars, where we honor the lives of the more than 400,000 Americans who gave their lives during the Second World War. Every name represents a story, a hometown, and a future that was never realized. And most of all a family who carries a gold star.

    2nd Lt. Daniel Vernon Hayes, US Marine Corp, Naval Aviator, KIA Feb 16, 1945
    Aug 2 2026
    The February raids against Japan helped clear the way for the invasion of Iwo Jima only days later.
    History remembers the operation for its strategic success But that success came at a tremendous cost. Daniel Vernon Hayes was one of the young aviators who paid that price. His name remains etched in stone, but his story reminds us that behind every inscription was a family who loved someone they would never see again.
    Welcome to Stars of Sacrifice: WWII, the official podcast of Stories Behind the Stars.
    More than 421,000 Americans gave their lives during World War II.
    Behind every name was a person—a son or daughter, husband or wife. Each left behind loved ones forever marked by a Gold Star. Behind every Gold Star is a family whose lives were forever changed by a telegram and the silence that followed.
    Stars of Sacrifice honors the men and women of the Second World War by telling the stories behind the names engraved on memorials and preserved in casualty records Because behind every casualty was a life, a family, and a story worth remembering.
