Who we are

JWV Post 202 update

By Harve Sturm, Commander JWV Post #202 and Martin Cohn, Vice Commander JWV Post #202

Founded in 1896, after the American Civil War, the Jewish War Veterans of the United States (JWV) is the voice of Jewish veterans, and friend to all veterans.

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.

As Jewish Veterans, we are proud for serving our country. We are proud that we brought honor and recognition to our people. And we are proud to be the oldest continuously operating veterans organization in the United States.

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. God bless America.
