This House Resolution extends congratulations to the Jewish War Veterans of the United States on the occasion of their 130th anniversary. The organization was founded on March 15, 1896, by 63 Jewish Civil War veterans to counter antisemitic comments questioning Jewish service and to advocate for the rights and recognition of Jewish veterans. It stands as the longest-serving active and one of the most distinguished veterans service organizations in the United States. The resolution commends the Jewish War Veterans for their continuous service, which includes preserving the memory and legacy of those who served, notably through the creation of the National Museum of American Jewish Military History . They actively advocate for policies benefiting all veterans, covering areas like military healthcare and educational benefits. Furthermore, the organization has consistently worked to combat antisemitism and promote tolerance, dating back to protests against Nazi Germany in the 1930s, and remains committed to Holocaust education and standing against all forms of hate and prejudice.
