A National Shrine for Jewish War Dead was dedicated here today by the Jewish War Veterans of the United States at ceremonies which included a parade of members and color guards from JWV posts throughout the country. The JWV moved its national headquarters into the Shrine in July.
Built with funds donated by JWV members and members of auxiliaries of the organization, the Shrine will house – upon completion – a museum of relics and memorabilia of Jewish contributions in all the wars of the United States from the Revolution to the present day.
