Dear Mikey and staff of Military Religious Freedom Foundation

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your help with my grandfather’s burial in the VA cemetery (name and location of cemetery withheld). As he was a Jew and wanted a Jewish funeral, your advice on how to get the VA cemetery to permit a graveside service with a minyan (a 10 man prayer quorum) and allow us to put in earth ourselves to the grave was a great comfort to us in our time of grief.

You took my calls late at night and were happy to give your advice and make yourself available around the clock (even when you were going into a surgery and could not use your hand).

Your dedication to helping others observe their respective religious practices while in the military is a breath of fresh air and a bright light that shines away the apathy and ignorance that can sometimes be present in our society towards those of different faith practices.

May G-d almighty bless you for this work and give you the strength and resources to continue helping others with great success!

Sincerely,
