News & Info
Today on #VeteransDay and throughout the year, we strive to honor the Jewish veterans buried in our cemeteries. Most recently, we marked veterans' graves in the Love Brothers Cemetery, pictured below. You can support the continued effort to mark veterans' graves in Jewish cemeteries throughout Cincinnati here: www.gofundme.com/f/z9359f-jcgc-cincinnati-jewish-war-veteran-grave-markers #jewishcemeteries
We send our sincere thanks and appreciation to the veterans who served our country. We know that there are many meaningful stories of service in the Cincinnati Jewish community. Comment below with a story about your service or the service of a family member. You can also e-mail us at info@jcemcin.org and we can feature the story in a future post. We look forward to learning more about the impact of veterans in our community. #jewishcemeteries
In this video from the Warren County Scouting Showcase, Eagle Scout Ethan Zied shares how he researched and marked Jewish veterans' graves in Greater Cincinnati's Jewish Cemeteries. Hear Ethan's reflections on the impact of his project beginning at 17:12 in the video.
Ethan shares, "I was able to honor 2,500 veterans, some of whom never received recognition for their service in their lifetimes...For the community, the markers silently say 'thank you' for the veterans' dedication. And for the families of veterans, the markers and flags give honor to their ancestors' service." Thank you, Ethan, for your work that has transformed our cemeteries!
