Jewish War Veterans

After Sitting One Out, Jewish Veterans March On

When you see the heroes of the Jewish War Veterans march in Sunday’s Celebrate Israel Parade, give them some extra cheer.

This year’s calendar put them in something of a Sandy Koufax bind, as Memorial Day and Shavuot coincided, as will happen several times in a lifetime.

Friday, Nov. 11 is Veterans Day. Anyone who served in uniform for the United States probably doesn’t need a reminder of the date, which began as Armistice Day after World War I, marking the official end of hostilities in “the war to end all wars” — Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m. Non-vets probably need a reminder.
