William Aboumrad- American High School

William Aboumrad was born on June 17, 1921, in the bustling city of New York, New York, to Nicola Aboumrad (1885-1938) and Annice Haboush Aboumrad (1891-1982). At the time of his birth, his father was 35 years old and his mother was 30. He had multiple siblings including Effie, Cleo, May, Lillian, Mitchell, and Eva Lorraine Aboumrad. He grew up in Brooklyn, New York and then moved to Mexico City where he attended and graduated from the American High School in Mexico City, Mexico. He then returned to the states and lived in Staunton, Virginia, USA. William Aboumrad then answered the call to serve his country during World War II and enlisted in the United States Army on February 4, 1943 at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, joining a wave of Americans who volunteered for military service following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. As part of the Ordnance Department, William likely worked in the supply and logistics sector of the military, supporting the frontline troops with the equipment and materials they needed to carry out their missions. William went on to marry in 1966 in the town of Templeton, Massachusetts, likely starting a family of his own. After a life that spanned six decades, William Aboumrad passed away in December 1982, at the age of 61. His final days were spent in the quiet city of Henderson, Kentucky.
