Excerpt:

This year, CBB will add to our community’s tradition of remembering, and proudly, for the first time, recognize and honor the legacy of our Jewish Community’s World War II Veterans — the brave men and women who sacrificed so much to secure our Western democratic ideals and way of life. These individuals courageously served to protect our future as both Americans and Jews.

On Nov. 15 at Congregation B’nai B’rith, we will honor our community’s World War II veterans with the 2015 Children of the Covenant Legacy Award, which is given to individuals who have made significant contributions to service, giving and community. Over 16 surviving veterans will receive this honor, and many more who have left us will be recognized.
