In this era of both instant communication and multiple deployments to far-flung locations, JWV has established its first online Post to accommodate the needs of today’s military and veterans. Through our online Post, Jewish service members and veterans in even the most remote locations will be able to join with their comrades in a virtual Post that will promote the JWV ideal to be of “greater service to our country and to one another,” as outlined in the preamble to the JWV Constitution. The new virtual Post is named after two American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country: DC3 Nathan Bruckenthal of the Coast Guard, who died in Iraq on April 24, 2004, and 1st LT Roslyn Schulte of the Air Force, who died in Afghanistan on May 20, 2009.
