Our commitment to honor the memories of those whom we've lost remains steadfast even in times when we can not gather together and mourn those we have lost in the past year. Together with the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati and Weil Kahn Funeral Home, we created this tribute in their memories – may they always be a blessing: vimeo.com/454016557.

Remembering those who have passed from August 2019-July 2020 in the Cincinnati Jewish community. The Federation worked with our rabbis, the Jewish Cemeteries...On Tuesday, a ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War (today, the DAV), honored Judge Robert S. Marx, who established the organization in 1920. The wreath-laying ceremony by his grave in the Walnut Hills Cemetery featured an honor guard, buglers, and remarks from members of the DAV and Jewish Cemeteries' David Harris. The ceremony was a moving, solemn reminder of Judge Marx's contributions to the country and the impact of the organization that he created.
The DAV has applied for Marx's Distinguished Service Cross to be considered for an upgrade to the Medal of Honor. You can read more about Marx's story in this article in the American Israelite: www.americanisraelite.com/news/local_news/article_33f4228a-f1de-11ea-9a1c-ff7516882b5f.html and in an article in the Cincinnati Jewish Journal: issuu.com/cincinnatijewishjournal/docs/cjj. #jewishcemeteries
It was an honor to host the DAV Department of Ohio today to memorialize Judge Robert S. Marx and his founding of the Disabled American Veterans one hundred years ago.
