From the Revolutionary War through today’s ongoing war against terrorism, American Jews have served nobly in all branches of our country’s military—and many are among our nation’s fallen heroes. It is incumbent upon America’s Jewish community, therefore, to mark Memorial Day for both its national and its Jewish significance.
During this year’s JWB Jewish Chaplains Council® National Jewish Community Observance of Memorial Day, the theme of which is “Together in Memory,” we will hear from post–9/11 Jewish Gold Star Families. Members of these families—who have had a close relative killed in action—will reflect and reminiscence about the lives and legacies of their loved ones. Jewish military chaplains and leaders of the American Jewish community will offer words of prayer and support, as well as a commitment to ever honor the memories of Gold Star Families’ loved ones.
Featuring greetings from Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, U.S. Senator for New York.
