Make Your Story a Part of Jewish Military History

As part of a new permanent exhibit at the National Museum of American Jewish Military History (NMAJMH), the museum is developing an interactive computer touch table. The theme of this interactive map is American military service around the world (1948 to the present) and it will include the personal stories and photographs of those who have served. The museum needs your help to show how Jews have contributed around the globe while serving in the American military. This includes major conflicts like Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, but also some of the many smaller operations that are so often overlooked. Whether you participated in the Berlin Airlift, were stationed at Thule Air Base in Greenland, or recently returned from a deployment in support of the Global War on Terror – they want to document just how varied Jewish military experience has been in the past 65 years.

To have your story and photograph included, please send an email to Pamela Elbe (pelbe@nmajmh.org) with the following info:

• Your name and contact info
• Dates of service
• Military operation (name and location)
• Your branch of service and rank at the time
• Describe a specific, memorable incident that occurred during your military service. How is it representative of your overall experience?

Please include one or more photographs from your time of service. In order to be able to use your images, we ask that the digital photo file be at least 1 MB. If you have any questions, please contact Pamela Elbe (pelbe@nmajmh.org).
