The KMC Wall of Honor features KMC alumni currently serving in the armed forces - active duty, guard or reserve. We are very proud of our men and women alumni protecting our freedoms and civil liberties, just like our namesake Fr. Emil Kapaun.  This wall is prominently featured in the walkway between the main academic hall of the school and the commons so the students at KMC will pass it every day.  We hope it will be a reminder to all of the sacrifice, pride and legacy of our military alumni.

We Need Photos: If you or someone you know is a KMC alumnus in active duty, guard or reserve, please email Andrea Naldoza a photo and include the name, KMC graduation year, branch of service, current rank, and current station.  We would prefer to have their portrait head shot in uniform but if that is not available, any photo in their uniform can be sent in. 

Special thanks to Matthew Shibley, KMC current parent and owner of Feghali Furniture and Cabinet Company, and Philip Frangenberg, KMC parent of alumni and owner of The Frame Shop, for their craftsmanship in creating the wall.
