George Toriello sent me this information August 24, 2019 on David W. Warne, whose name is listed on the Original Veterans Wall Unit at Hackensack High School, missing the middle initial.  David W. Warne is the brother of 1940 Hackensack High School graduate, Ralph N. Warne, who was also listed on the Original Veterans Wall Unit missing the middle initial also and who was Killed in Action.
