Alumni Veterans-Friedman Memorial Plaque
In 2012, at the bequest and generosity of the estate of Mr. Harry G. Friedman Class of 1933, a memorial plaque was designed and hung in the Eastern hallway in the lobby of LaSalle Hall. It was dedicated to the Memory of Mr. Harry Friedman and that of his brother, USA Lt. Col. Joseph Bernard Friedman, Saint Paul's College 1935. Additional language on the plaque is as follows: "Honoring the memory of all the Saint Paul's alumni who practiced the values learned at Saint Paul's by their patriotic service in the United States Military."
Nearly 250 alumni are presently represented on the plaque which resides in the hallway of La Salle Hall adjacent to the last ROTC classroom. As Veterans Day approaches, we would like to once again petition our alumni base to identify any additional veterans and give proper recognition to all who have served our country.
If you are a veteran and would like to be recognized on the plaque, please email your response to the following to [email protected]:
Your name
Branch of service in which you served
The highest rank or rate attained
Your year of graduation or years spent at Saint Paul's
Further, if you are aware of a classmate or friend who served, please send us any information you have regarding that person including contact information.
Any active military, please let us know when your service ends, or upon retirement, in order to ensure that the accurate rank is denoted on the plaque.
Many thanks to the Friedman family and for our alumni who have so bravely served the greatest country the world has ever known.
NOTE: The plaque will be updated annually, and the deadline for this year's submission is November 18th, 2025. The updated names will be available for display by our return to school the first week in January 2026.
