Son of Charles A. Friedman who resided in New York City, New York.
Bernard served as a Second Lieutenant & Navigator on C-47A #42-93095, 91st Troop Carrier Squadron, 439th Troop Carrier, Group, U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.
He resided in New York County, New York prior to the war.
Bernard was "Killed In Action" when his C-47A was believed to have been shot down by German anti-aircraft fire during the Normandy invasion and crashed at Beuzeville-au-Plain, Manche, France during the war.
He was awarded the Air Medal and the Purple Heart.
He was originally interred overseas and was later repatriated here on March 27, 1951.

The reason he is named on a group headstone is because when soldier's were killed in close proximity to each other they were unable, at that time, to identify them separately and interred their remains together in one grave.
