A tribute to Jewish war heroes
Posted by Capt Rubin on December 09, 2004
Samuel G. Breidner has written a series of articles for The Sun News of Myrtle Beach giving a brief history of Jewish military contributions.
- Article #1 ties in the Channukah story to everything from Pearl Harbor to The War of 1812.
- Article #2 talks about Jewish heroes in the Civil War, the Indian Wars, and the beginning of WWI.
- Article #3 brings us from WWII, through Vietnam and Korea, to today in Iraq.
There are certainly more thorough works written about Jews who have served this country, but Mr. Breidner offers a quick glance at some of our superstars and does a decent job relating it to the military aspects of the Channukah story. I’m also quite impressed that a local newspaper would devote three days to this. Kudos to Sam Breidner and The Sun News for making this happen.
