BY ARCHIE HI. GREENBERG
National Commander, Jewish
War Veterans

With more than five hundred
thousand Jewish young men serv-
ing in the armed forces of the
United States, it is appropriate
to talk about ''the fighting jew"
especially on the occasion of
Hanukah when we commemor-
ate the valor of Judah Maccabee
and his legionaires who fought
the battle against the Syrians for
freedom of worship over two
thousand years ago. That "the
fighting Jew" should not be as
celebrated as ''the fighting Irish"
is one of anomalies of American
history; it is perhaps a reflection
of the acceptance of the tradition
of ghetto passivity, a vestige of
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1944-12-01
100000 Jews in Service Live Up
To The Maccabean Tradition

IN TACT.
Whether you study the war rec
ord of Jews in this present titanic
struggle, or whether you dip into
the history of the War of the
Revolution, the Civil War or the
first World War - in fact, of any
military engagement in which
the United States participated -
you will find that the Levins
fought side by side with the
KellyS, that Jews have compiled
record of valor second to no 9th
er group in the United States.
If one goes back to the found
ing fathers of this country = to
the War of the Revolution = one
thinks of Haym Solomon, who
helped finance the Revolution, of
Col. Isaac Frank, who was aid
de-camp to General George Wash
ington but there were others, less
celebrated but no less valorous.
We should know more of these
men; certainly too few of us know
that Francis Salvador, one of
South Cardinals greatest heroes
of the Revolution, was the scion
of a famous family of Mariana
Jews.
Salvador came to North Caro-
lima in 1878 on a family business
mission; he stayed to purchase a
large colonial plantation and by
the following year he was chosen
to membership in the Provincial
Congress which was to meet in
Charlestown. A member of this
forbidden Congress, Salvador par
ticipated in the framing of the
North Carolina Bill of Rights and
the ratification of the resolutions
previously passed by the Con-
tinental Congress in Philadelphia.
Frances Salvador was thus one
of the founding fathers of North
Carolina, the same state that has
spawned the soon to be retired
Senator Robert r. Reynolds, the
man who wants to keep America
for the Americans, the man who
would bar refugees from Nazi
terrorism, the man who associates
with notorious anti -Semitic Ma
tionaliStS.
This son "of the Jewish nation"
whose Uncle had been one of
the founders of the London Com
mittee of Deputies of the British
Jews = played a prominent part
in North Carolina affairs during
his three year residence in A
merica before, in his first battle
with the Tories and Indians, he
was fatally wounded while lead
ing the troops with Col. William
son. Lying wounded on the field
of battle, this early American
Jewish patriot was scalped by an
Indian before aid could reach
him.
Today, we're not fighting In
dams, but the story of Jewish
valor is the same. To the Ameri-
can Saga there have been added
thousands of individual stories of
Jewish valor in France and in the
Philippines, in New Guinea and
Sicily, and at Guadalcanal and
in Tunisia; thousands of other
acts of individual heroism will
go unrecorded, for that is the way
of war.
There's the story of Staff Sgt.
Schiller Cohen, the waist gunner
of Flying Fortress, a boy from
the Bronx who wears a mezuzzah
on his dog tag as he goes into
battle. Sgt. Cohen, who has
flown 254 combat hours, holds
Distinguished Flying Cross, an
Air Medal with ten Oak Clusters,
and a Group Citation,

! Legion of Merit for deliberately
exposing himself to malaria as
part of a medical experiment in
New Guinea.
Or perhaps you haven't heard
of 1t. Commander Stanley Cap
Ian of Elmlra, N. Y, the holder OF
commentator from the late
Secretary of the Navy, Frank
Knox. Commander Captain took
destroyer to sea on the day
of the Pearl Harbor attack that
shot down four japanese planes
and depth bombed two subma-
rines.
The Navy Cross was the reward
of Corporal Leroy Diamond, Ma
rine from Brooklyn, who as the
leader of a three men gun crew
halted the early Jap advance at
Guadalcanal piling up more than
two hundred dead during the bat
tie.
France honored Sgt. Herbert
Freidwald of New York with
Croix de Guerre for his work in
directing a gun section that des-
troyed three tanks and two 88mm
guns and mortar crews during
the North African campaign. I'm
Gle Sam honored him, too, with
Silver Star.
To Commander Solomon As
quith of Brooklyn went the Navy
! Cross for saving 900 of the crew
of the target ship Utah, of which
he was commander, at Pearl Har-
| Dor.
Two Presidential citations and
the Navy Cross went to 1t. (s.g.)
Aaron Katz of Cleveland, mem
Der of the famed Torpedo 8 Plane
Squadron which distinguished it
self in the Battle of the Solo,
mons.
AS a sniper on New Guinea,
Pvt. Marice Levy of Chicago shot
Is Japs in one night, though
wounded himself four times. His
heroism, which won for him the
Distinguished Service Cross, suf-
ficiently weakened Jap resistance
at Sanada that American troops
were able to advance.
An American patrol of fourteen
men, led by 1t. Paul Schwartz,
of Syracuse, N. Y, captured a
village in New Guinea from a
superior Jap force and was thus
enabled to destroy a cache of
enemy arms and ammunition.
Later wounded, 1t. Schwartz
holds the Distinguished Service
Cross, the Silver Star and the
Purple Heart.
The record of the individual
valor of our Jewish boys is end
/ less, as is attested by the records
kept by the Bureau of Jewish
War Records of the Jewish We'll
fare Board. In toto, they testify
as to the heroism of ''the fighting
Jew" saga that begins with
David, that hit a high spot in the
time of the Maccabees and
which in modern times is glor-
iously enshrined in the annals of
American history.

Louis Blank and Mrs. Victor

The table was attractive with
an Italian cutwork linen cloth,
centered with a large bowl OF

ed at small tables in the garden,
which were decorated with
flowers. Dainty sandwiches and
tea cakes were served by the
League members.
The display of stuffed ami
mails, which the League has been
working on, for the Deaf Insti-
tute in Detroit, and the small
aprons for the Lutheran Child
ren's Aid Society of Bay City,
was an added attraction.
Mrs. Lorenz Schock and Flor

Mrs. r. Deng.
