On behalf of all members of the Jewish War Veterans Department of New Jersey welcome to our website.

Here you will find information on department activities, a calendar of events and major programs as well as a directory of post, county and department officers.

There are links to useful information relating to subjects such as estate planning and what to do when a veteran dies.  We hope you’ll visit this website frequently to stay in touch.

EVERY SOLDIER, EVERY DAY!

My command theme this year is, Every Soldier, Every Day.  Take it seriously.

When you raised your right hand and took that step forward you joined a very special GI family.  You became a soldier, sailor, airman, marine, coast guardsman ….

Even at a fancy jewelry store like Tiffany’s there’s a special piece of jewelry that even they can’t sell you.  It’s a dog tag.  I got mine in 1970 and when I took off my uniform in 2001, I decided to keep wearing it.  To me it symbolizes the men and women who have served this great nation.  This dog-tag family is us.  We veterans are a family and families take care of their own.  Every Soldier, Every day.  It’s more than a slogan – it’s an attitude.  And a challenge – what have you done today to help a veteran.

Remember, the need is great – whether it’s the aging World War II veteran, or the young soldier currently deployed in harm’s way – we must seek them out and meet their needs. 

COL Carl Singer, Department Commander
