FROM YOUR HISTORIAN, HERB COHEN (Welcome Back, Herb) HONOR FLIGHT INFORMATION Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America‘s veterans for all their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill. Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nation—and as a culturally diverse, free society. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, an estimated 640 WWII veterans die each day. Our time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out. We fly veterans to Washington DC to visit memorials built to honor their service to the nation. Honor Flight for World War II vets are first choice. Korea Vets are eligible on a space available basis. An Honor Flight Application is printed in this edition of the Newsletter. For further information you can email honorflightsouthernnevada.org, or call 702-749-5912. L A U G H L I N E S The President of Iran was wondering what country to invade when his telephone rang.''This is Mendel in Tel Aviv. We're officially declaring war on you!' 'How big is your army?' the President of Iran asked. 'There's me, my cousin Moishe, and most of our pinochle team!' 'I have a million people in my army,' laughed the president of Iran. 'I'll call back!' said Mendel. The next day Mendel called and said, 'The war's still on! We have now also have a bulldozer, a Goldblatt's tractor, and all the members of our canasta club!' The President of Iran responded, 'Well I have 16,000 tanks, and my army is now two million people.' 'Oy gevalt!' said Mendel.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2015 Remarks on Presenting
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2015 Remarks on Presenting Posthumously the Medal of Honor to Private Henry Johnson and Sergeant William Shemin June 2, 2015 The President. Good morning, everybody. Please be seated. Audience members. Good morning. The President. Welcome to the White House. Nearly a hundred years ago, a 16-year-old kid from the Midwest named Frank Buckles headed to Europe's western front. An ambulance driver, he carried the wounded to safety. He lived to see our troops ship off to another war in Europe and one in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. And Frank Buckles became a quietly powerful advocate for our veterans and remained that way until he passed away 4 years ago, America's last surviving veteran of World War I. On the day Frank was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery, Vice President Biden and I went to pay our respects. And we weren't alone. Americans from across the country came out to express their gratitude as well. They were of different ages and different races, some military, some not. Most had never met Frank. But all of them braved a cold winter's day to offer a final tribute to a man with whom they shared a powerful conviction: that no one who serves our country should ever be forgotten. We are a nation, a people, who remember our heroes. We take seriously our responsibilities to only send them when war is necessary. We strive to care for them and their families when they come home. We never forget their sacrifice. And we believe that it's never too late to say thank you.

That is true of a show opening on March 17 at the National Museum of Ameri- can Jewish History in Philadelphia and lat- er this year at the American Jewish Histori- cal Society in New York. Organized by the two institutions, which are collaborating on an exhibition for the first time, “1917: How One Year Changed the World” focuses on three historic events and their major impact on Jews around the world: America’s entry into World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the Balfour Declaration.
