Jewish War Veterans of the United States
Hails Mikey Weinstein, Founder and President
Of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation for His
Fearless Advocacy and Victory for Jewish Cadets of the U.S. Air Force Academy

The Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America (JWV), founded in 1896, the oldest veterans’ service organization (VSO) in the United States, and the only VSO committed from its founding to the explicit opposition to all forms of bigotry, hails Mikey Weinstein, U.S. Air Force Academy Graduate of the Class of 1977, Founder and President of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), and member of JWV Post 354, for the victory of the MRFF in pressuring the U.S. Air Force Academy to release committed donor funding to send Jewish cadets to the Jewish Warrior Weekend at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.

Less than one hour after MRFF demanded that the Air Force Academy leadership release of the committed donor funding for the Jewish cadets’ trip to the Jewish Warrior Weekend, the Office of the Superintendent announced the release of the previously committed donor funds.

Incoming JWV National Commander Gary Ginsburg of Rochester, New York will attend the Jewish Warrior Weekend in support of Jewish cadets and midshipmen from West Point, the Air Force Academy, and the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. The JWV praises Mikey Weinstein and the MRFF for their fulfillment of their unique purpose and the JWV mission: to oppose all forms of bigotry, to protect the good name of the Jew wherever unjustly assailed, and to ensure that all Jewish-American service members fulfill their obligations to the United States and their faith without fear or favor, and with equal fervor.

Respectfully

Peter J. Nickitas, National Judge Advocate, for:
Barry Lischinsky, Col., U.S. Army (Ret.),
National Commander, Jewish War Veterans of the United States

    Why was the funding held up?
    Proud Jewish army service from US civil
    War general, great great uncle Edward S Salomon, WWI grandfather in France and WWII father in Marianas. Dad said navy was the worst for Jews.

    Barbara, funding was held up because they could inconvenience those from another faith. It’s what the Christian nationalists in command want because to them there is only one faith*.

    *Never mind the funds were already allocated. Never mind the over 100 DOD officially recognized faiths. Never mind the human playing this game swore an oath the protect and defend the USA Constitution.

    So many never minds. Posted from my phone because I introduced the cat to Stargate and they get fussy when I want to use the machine to make comments. Might have created a monster – of the best sort of course.

    Anti-semitism comes in all forms and is present in many U.S. institutions. We should be asking why it was opposed at first. A congressional inquiry would be appropriate. I was shocked when I encountered it in the Army during the spring of 1962 at Fort Dix. Thank G-d for the Christian Lt. who interceded! Things haven’t changed in the military. Every so often it raises it’s ugly head!

    With the hate being fueled by Schittsinpants and we wonder why anti-semitism is on the rise?

    They pray to a brown Jewish savior but hate brown people and Jews! Go figure! They pray to one!

    So, the creator of the universe gives himself, in human form, as a brown man, for the vicarious redemption of that bitch Eve talking to a snake!

    “Goddamn women! I told you that snake was no good!”

    The snake got punished though. His punishment was having to sliver for the rest of his days on his belly! Which …… he was already doing? Am I missing something?

    If you can believe that it was righteous to knock up the 12 year old virgin wife of another man, then, yeah, I can see where you’d believe Haitians are stealing your pets – and eating them!

    Team Weird will say anything to get back into power! And then they can do what they like.

    The Orange-Man’s rambling speech would be right at home in North Korea!

    So yeah, I can see where the Nazi hate leads. And so can you!

    Vote Blue! Get rid of stench of Trump’s Adderall-filled diapers! The country is exhausted listening to this old age dementia riddled dickhead run his mouth! His crowds are leaving, the evangelicals are leaving, the country is leaving him, relegated to a padded cell where he can get in touch with his spiritual side and slap at imaginary flies!

    Time to move on. The reign of terror is over!
    We’re done! We’re through! And we’re NOT going back!
