Berkeley World War II Plaque

The City of Berkeley plans to install a bronze plaque honoring all those citizens from Berkeley who died fighting in World War 2 on the Berkeley Veterans Memorial Building. In keeping with the project's goal we are compiling a list of casualties from various sources. If you know of someone who died in WW2 from Berkeley and they are not on this list please e-mail me the information and I will forward it to the committee making the plaque.
