Online Jews in the Military Exhibit

An older URL, to be sure, but one worth posting nevertheless. I intend to use the exhibit with the kids in my Religious School class this year for a multimedia project.

This online exhibit, hosted at Florida Atlantic University Library’s contains a PDF of Seymour “Sy” Brody’s Jews in America’s Military, accompanied by a curriculum guide.

Members of Jewish War Veterans know that six of the first Medal of Honor winners, after the award was established, were Jewish members of the Union Army. From Uriah Levy to astronaut Judy Resnick, this offers a comprehensive look at the heroic contributions of Jewish military members throughout the history of the U.S.

After the Global War on Terror reaches its end, may it be soon, more Jewish names will be (and in many cases, already are) associated with valor in the American military.
