Fallen Alumni Veterans Memorial


This granite memorial was placed in 2025 to honor the Roosevelt alumni who were killed as a result of their military service. Names are grouped by conflict: World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, and a final section for those who died due to their service. Within each section, names appear in order of Roosevelt class year, with their graduation year listed beside them. Several of these alumni left school early to enlist, and some were killed before they would have earned their diplomas.

A high quality image of the Fallen Alumni Memorial, honoring the Roosevelt alumni who were killed as a result of their military service.

Names to be Engraved in 2026
