Veterans Day
Veterans Day previously known as “Armistice Day” is the official day that we honor all the men and women in uniform who served in The United States Armed Forces to protect our country. Below are photos from our archive showing Jewish community veterans. If you have any additional information regarding these photos, we would love to hear from you.

"With best wishes to my dear sweetheart. Je vous aime." Her photo appears immediately below.
