Jewish Chaplains Memorial
 Jewish
rabbis have served as Chaplains in the US military for decades.
On
Monday, October 24, 2011, the Jewish Chaplains Memorial was dedicated at
Arlington National Cemetery. This memorial lists the names of the 14 Jewish
Chaplains who died while on active duty between 1943 and 1974.
Of the 14 chaplains,
seven died on active duty in the US, three in Vietnam and four in WW-II.
The dedication
ceremony was held at the Memorial Amphitheater, adjacent to the Tomb of the
Unknowns; the Memorial has been installed in Section 2, on Chaplains
Hill, at the intersection of McClellan Drive and Grant Drive.
The monument is placed
next to the three monuments of the chaplains of other faiths who gave their
lives to service of their country.
