Veterans Day | Jewish Historical Society

Next week on Nov 11 we will celebrate Veteran’s Day. It is this day that we honor all the men and women in The United States Armed Forces who served to protect our country. The Jewish War Veterans play an important part in remembering and honoring our Jewish Vets. Below are photos from our archives showing our Jewish community veterans.
