M
ay you and all who dwell here be sheltered with peace, comfort and love. May those blessings also be showered upon our nation’s veterans who have sacrificed so much for our freedom, safety and honor. During the months of May, June and July, JWV Post 202 has been active in the community with our Honor Guard’s proud participation in memorial services for veterans and families throughout Collier County. July 15th was a special day for our Post. We recognized the accomplishments of Rabbi Fishel Zaklos, who is dedicated to the Jewish War Veterans activities in this area, presenting him a plaque at the Chabad Naples Jewish Community Center. On May 31st, a Memorial Day tribute and celebration was conducted at Hodges Memorial Gardens. Chief William Carl, president of Collier County Veterans Council, presided over the event. Over 300 spectators, families
and veterans assembled to honor this special day. Rabbi Fishel was chosen to present the opening benediction and closing invocation at the event. The rabbi was
amazing in his presentation and content and received a standing ovation. This was a special day for JWV Post 202 as it was the first time a rabbi was selected to participate in the annual event. We stand for equality and diversity no matter race, gender, age or religion. It is our duty to advocate for our members and veterans. We owe this to every man and woman who dedicated their lives to defending our great nation.
We welcome those who have served in the U.S. military, combat not required. Nonveterans and friends who are patriotic and dedicated to our values are invited to join us as guests and patron members.
