Veterans, their families and the community at large came together in Atlantic City for the long anticipated unveiling of the Bernie Friedenberg World WarII memorial on the 80th anniversary of D-Day. "Jews all over the world knew what was happening and my father wanted to fight." said Susan Friedenberg, daughter of Bernie Friedenberg.And he did just that.
"We learned years later that daddy was really shot four times, not twice. He tended to his own wounds because he said I have men to patch up, I didn’t have time for myself. That’s who Bernie was".His brave service earned him two purple hearts, two silver hearts, and two bronze medals.The veteran died in 2018 and now this memorial bears his name for the world to see.
