Jewish War Veterans Lead
Battle Against Hamanism
By the Oak-Woodser
The month of March has been
proclaimed as membership
month by the Department of
Michigan of the Jewish War
Veterans.
And what better time to ex-
plain its purpose could have
been chosen than the week of
Purim? Because, in addition to
being a group concerned solely
with veterans activities, JWV
has been a constant battler
against all the Hamans and
would-be Hamans in this coun-
try and throughout the world.
It is rather interesting that
the Jewish War Veterans
started after the Civil War to
nullify stories that were being
circulated at the time that the
Jews did not serve in the armed
forces of the United States.
The organization has gained
momentum through the years.
It continues today as one of
the oldest existent veterans
groups in the country, and
numbers among its members
Jewish soldier s from the
Spanish ;American War, the
two World Wars and Korea.

JWV is recognized by other
veterans groups as one of the
leading batlers for veterans
rights, and, throughout the year,
its devoted workers check on
the status of veterans, even
those not of Jewish faith, to
make certain they receive all of
the benefits accruing to men
who have served their country
in time of war.
Locally, the Jewish Veterans
has an outstanding record of
assistance to servicemen who
are now patients in the state's
veterans hospitals.
Rarely a week goes by that
one of the local posts and auxil-
iaries does not have a hOspital
party, at which they bring enter-
tainment, food, books and other
necessity and luxury 'items to
the hundreds of veterans who
are still hospitalized.
More than with veterans activ-
ities a 1 o n e, however, JWV is
concerned with the perpetua-
tion of democratic concepts—
the theory b e i n g, of course,
that "we have fought to keep -
our country s t r o n g through
war; we must continue the bat-
tle against every undemocratic
pr ocedure even in time of
peace."
Thus, it was not surprising
that JWV, was in the fore-
front of those organizations
who worked to gain informa-
tion about the bombers of the
temnle in Atlanta, Ga. With
local Jewish leaders, JWV
loaned its resources and
posted a $5,000 reward for in-
formation leading to arrest of
the criminals.
