It is very important for there to be publicity about American Jews fighting and dying for their country. At the present time, there are many revisionists who to this day claim that Jews have never served in the US Armed Forces. Jews have served in every conflict of the USA from the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, The First World War, etc. They were at Pearl Harbor (the first Japanese Zero which was shot down by ground gunfire, was accomplished by an American Jew), on the beaches of Normandy during the invasion, participated in the invasion of Iwo Jima, and were on the battleship Missouri when the Japanese surrendered.
