May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), proclaimed in 2006 by President George W. Bush in response to resolutions passed by both the House and Senate. We are featuring prominent Jewish historical figures and modern day leaders throughout the month:

Bernie Friedenberg was a Jewish American World War II medic whose bravery saved countless lives in combat. Born in 1924 in Philadelphia, PA, Friedenberg joined the U.S. Army after high school and served with the 1st Infantry Division. As a combat medic, he landed at Omaha Beach on D-Day and treated wounded soldiers under intense enemy fire. He continued to serve through the Normandy campaign, the liberation of Paris, and the Battle of the Bulge.
For his heroism, Friedenberg received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and the French Legion of Honor. After the war, he remained active in veterans’ causes and was a proud member of the Jewish War Veterans. He passed away in 2018, leaving behind a legacy of courage and service. The Jewish War Veterans is proud to honor Bernie Friedenberg, whose dedication and sacrifice exemplify the very best of the American spirit.
