WHO WE ARE
Organized in 1896 by Jewish Veterans
of the Civil War, JWV is the oldest
active national Veterans service organization in
America.
Today, the JWV combats anti-Semitism and
bigotry throughout the world.
We assist the Office of Special
Investigation in pursuing Nazi war criminals,
support American
youth through scouting, scholarships and
anti-drug programs, and assist oppressed Jews
worldwide.
The organization also supports strong
U.S.-Israeli relations by sponsoring two Allied
Veterans
Missions to Israel each year.

WHAT WE DO
We, citizens of the United States of America, of the Jewish faith, who served in the Wars
of the
United States of America, in order that we may be of greater service to our country and to one
another, associate ourselves together for the following purposes:
To maintain true allegiance to the United States of America; to foster and perpetuate true
Americanism; to combat whatever tends to impair the efficiency and permanency of our free
institutions; to uphold the fair name of the Jew and fight his or her battles wherever unjustly
assailed; to encourage the doctrine of universal liberty, equal rights, and full justice to all men
and women; to combat the powers of bigotry and darkness wherever originating and whatever their
target; to preserve the spirit of comradeship by mutual helpfulness to comrades and their families;
to cooperate with and support existing educational institutions and establish educational
institutions, and to foster the education of ex-servicemen and ex-servicewomen, and our members in
the ideals and principles of Americanism; to instill love of country and flag, and to promote sound
minds and bodies in our members and our youth; to preserve the memories and records of patriotic
service performed by the men and women of our faith; to honor their memory and shield from neglect
the graves of our heroic dead.
