(BLOG) Days Of Awe In The Pacific

"On every front, from the South Pacific to Sicily,from North Africa to Europe, 550,000 American Jews served in WWII, and were served by their chaplains during the High Holy Days.

In the spring of 1943 a powerful illustration was displayed on the cover of the Baltimore Jewish Times. Entitled 'Americans will always fight for liberty,' it depicted colonial American troops with muskets from 1778 and GIs marching in stride from 1943.

This same spirit is seen in this tribute penned by president Harry Truman at the conclusion of World War II."
