Honoring Their Sacrifice

For the 41st year in a row, members of the Jewish War Veterans, Neuman Goldman Post No. 69, gathered at the Museum of Bronx History on Bainbridge Avenue on Memorial Day to honor those who have died in American wars. Joining County Commander Mel Sacks, were Frank Vernucci of the Bronx Borough President’s office, Fr. William Kalaldjian, chaplain of the Bronx V.A. Hospital and Bronx historian, Professor Lloyd Ultan.

    I would be very dear to me if you could send me the email address of Jewish War Veterans’ Neumann-Goldman Post # 69. My father, Meyer M. Cohen, was a proud member that post. (A veteran of the first World War) I now belong to JWV Post 180 in Israel, in his honor. I would like to contact the post and send them a summary of a trip to the Ghetto Fighters Museum and to the Yemin Orde High School (named for Charles Orde Wingate) our Post took this past week. Thank you, Roberta I. Cohen
