JEWISH WAR VETERANS CAPITOL POST 122
NEEDS COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Columbus, OH – Capitol Post 122 of the Jewish War Veterans (JWV), is the local chapter of Jewish War Veterans, a national Jewish non-profit organization dedicated to the service, support and recognition of all Jewish Veterans in Central Ohio. The Post is comprised of former Jewish Veterans residing in our community that elect to become members. The organization, functioning on the tireless efforts of past veteran volunteers, conducts activities throughout each year including Veteran’s Sabbath Weekend, color guard and representation in the Veterans Day and Independence Day Parades, funeral participation and flag presentation, Memorial Day services and gravestone flag and marker placement and most prominently by maintaining a wall of remembrance located at the Columbus Jewish Community Center. As the Jewish Veteran population continues to decline along with organization membership, JWV Capitol Post 122 is finding it more difficult to meet the expenses of their annual overall budget. With each passing year, Central Ohio loses former veterans. JWV memorializes each and every identified Jewish Veteran, member or not, with a brass placard that is installed on the wall of remembrance memorial wall at the JCC. The raw cost for an individual bronze placard is $45 and with a declining membership base and thus income, Capitol Post 122 needs community financial support to preserve the ability to perform these important services for our Jewish Veterans now and for perpetuity. JWV is asking for any and all community financial support in order to be able to continue their valuable community services and maintain and expand the memorial wall at the Jewish Community Center, the gravestone flag and marker placement each and every Memorial Day and the annual programming.
