“It’s especially meaningful that we’ve gathered on Veterans Day, a day of national remembrance when we honor courage, sacrifice, and those who have stood on the front lines to defend freedom,” said Event Co-chairwoman Dee Levy. “Today, across this country, we remember American veterans of all backgrounds who served in the United
States Armed Forces. And we especially honor Jewish veterans, those who served the United States with pride and valor, and those who have worn the uniform of the Israel Defense Forces to defend our Jewish homeland of Israel.”
