AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution commemorates the 127th anniversary of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America (JWV), recognizing its founding in 1896 by Civil War veterans to combat anti-Semitism and its continuous operation as the oldest veterans organization in the country. The resolution highlights the JWV's extensive history of advocating for Jewish soldiers, supporting U.S. wartime efforts, fighting for civil rights, providing veterans services, and undertaking significant actions such as boycotting German goods before World War II, contributing to the war effort by purchasing military equipment, supporting the first GI Bill, organizing blood drives, establishing a museum for American Jewish military history, participating in the 1963 March on Washington, and providing support after the September 11th attacks. It also acknowledges the organization's foundation in New Jersey, which is home to 20 JWV posts, and resolves to transmit copies of this commemoration to the JWV's National Commander.
