June 1, 2026 — Washington, D.C.
At AJC Global Forum 2026, American Jewish Committee and the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America (JWV) honored the service, sacrifice, and enduring contributions of Jewish Americans who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
As America approaches its 250th anniversary and JWV marks 130 years of service, AJC recognized seven distinguished veterans whose military service spans World War II, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Global War on Terror. Founded in 1896 to counter antisemitic falsehoods about Jewish military service, JWV has spent more than a century supporting veterans, combating antisemitism, and strengthening the values of patriotism, remembrance, and civic responsibility.
