he Jewish War Veterans of the United States (JWV) is the voice of Jewish veterans and friend to all veterans. The organization was founded in 1896, after the American Civil War. The Union fought antiSemitism, in the armed forces and with the general public. Jews proudly served and fought in the armed forces. With over 124 years of service, JWV is the oldest continuously operating veteran’s organization in the United States.

Mission Our mission is to foster and perpetuate patriotism and respect for the American flag, encourage the doctrine of universal liberty and equal rights, preserve our values for future generations, advocate for civics education in our schools and protect and defend the rights of those who protect and defend us.
JROTC awards Due to the pandemic, our JROTC awards program was modified in April and May of this year. Commanders at the seven schools were given certificates and medals to distribute to the winners.
Veterans events We also participated in other ceremonies, i.e., memorial services for those who
served and in Veterans Day ceremonies as part of Shabbat programs at Temple Shalom and at Chabad as well as a Veterans Day program at Cambier Park. Our JWV Post 2020 also attended a Korean War recognition ceremony held at the Naples Military Museum.
Happy Birthday Howard Berger We belatedly wish to congratulate JWV Post 202’s oldest Life Member Howard Berger, currently of Denver, on his recent 97th birthday this past November. Howard, our senior post JWV member, relocated to Denver Colorado to be close to family. As Jewish veterans, we are proud to have served our country. We are proud that we brought honor and recognition to our people. We stand for Jewish pride, identity and the American military to our nation. We invite those who have served in the U.S. Military (combat not required) to join us at our monthly meetings. If you are not a veteran, but are grateful for their dedication to our country, you are invited to support and uphold our values as a patron member.
