   COMMEMORATING THE 125TH ANNIVERSARY OF JEWISH WAR VETERANS OF THE 
                        UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

  (Mr. ZELDIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 125th 
anniversary of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America.
  Jewish War Veterans was founded on March 15, 1896, by 63 Jewish Civil 
War veterans after several anti-Semitic comments were made claiming 
there was a lack of Jewish participation during the Civil War.
  Since then, the Jewish War Veterans have made it their mission to 
fight anti-Semitism and advocate for Jewish servicemembers and veterans 
from all walks of life.
  Whether it was supporting Jewish servicemembers fighting Nazi Germany 
during World War II or establishing the National Museum of American 
Jewish History, the Jewish War Veterans have never stopped supporting 
its members, Jewish servicemembers, and our veterans.
  As a fellow member of the Jewish War Veterans, thank you for your 
service to our Nation and our veterans, and congratulations again on 
125 incredible years. May there be many more to come.
