World War II Memorial - El Paso, Texas
The Greatest Generation During this exhibit, discover the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice instilled by the Christian Brothers in all of their students. Honor the service of all Cathedral High alumni who have served in all our country’s wars. In particular, consider those who made the supreme sacrifice during the greatest conflagration of the 20th century, World War II. We salute fourteen alumni who answered the Call of Duty in defense of freedom. From the oldest, LT Lionel V.O Smith, class of 1929, who volunteered for flying duty with the Royal Canadian Air Force before the United States entered the war, to the youngest, PVT James Carr Foester, class of 1944, who died on Christmas Eve aboard the ill-fated Leopoldville, torpedoed in the English Channel. These brave men’s example continues to inspire new generations of Cathedral alumni for they truly were members of America’s Greatest Generation.
