Record of Jews in Armed Forces
By MYRON A. KEYS
Chairman, War Records Committee, Detroit Army
and Navy Committee of Jewish Welfare Board
Detroit's Honor Roll of Jewish men and women in the
service of our country and the United Nations is now being
compiled by the Bureau of War Records of the Detroit Army
and Navy Committee of the Jewish Welfare Board.
Of the more than 6,500 names assembled thus far, there
is a complete record of about 2,000 men and
women, their ranks, promotions, awards and
acts of heroism. •
• The necessary facts concerning more than
4,000 other Jewish servicemen are now being
gathered. The list of these men and women
appears in this issue of The Jewish News.
Relatives and friends of the men and
women listed here should make immediate
use of the questionnaire appearing on Page
24 of this issue of The Jewish News in pro-
Myron A. Key sviding the necessary information to the War
Records Committee of the Detroit Army and Navy Com-
mittee. •
It is important, in the interest of our expanding services
to the men and women in the armed forces, that our record
should be completed as soon as possible.
Our request of the parents and friends of our service-
men is that they act at once in sending us the questionnaire
appearing in this issue of The Jewish News and to secure
additional questionnaires from the Army and Navy Com-
mittee at the Jewish Community Center.
•
We owe a duty to the men and women in service, to
our community and to posterity, to preserve a true and
complete record of Jewish participation in this war. In the
future, such a record can do much to shatter the baseless
charges of Fascists — foreign and domestic. Such a record
will always be a source of pride to the Jews of the world.
