Seventh Annual “SALUTE TO THE TROOPS” Concert, May 17, 2009

Free admission to all members of the Armed Forces.

The Seventh Annual JWV "SALUTE TO THE TROOPS" Concert was held on Sunday afternoon, May 17, 2009 to raise additional funds to ship more GI- Hygiene Kits to our Armed Forces including our wounded soldiers. These Kits, which contain 17 personal toilet articles and a deck of playing cards, are given to our "Wounded Warriors" who receive them in U.S. Military Hopitals in the USA and Germany. They have proven to be a very popular and most desirable gift.

Once again, the Town of Ramapo, with Supervisor Christopher P. St. Lawrence and The Town Council, partnered with the Jewish War Veterans to co-host this event. Last year’s Memorial Concert was helped by Suffern High School and our annual benevolent sponsors, namely: Orange and Rockland Uilities, The Provident Bank, The Tri-State Media Penny Saver, The Journal News and The Rockland County Legislature. A buffet Luncheon was again served to our Hospitalized Veterans at the Outback Steakhouse in Suffern, NY prior to the Memorial Day concert.

Concert and Memorial Service, 3 June 2007

After a short Memorial Service on June 3rd at the Lafayette Theater, an enthusiastic audience of over 650 persons enjoyed listening to “Our Salute To The Armed Forces” concert featuring Joe Battaglia’s N.Y. Big Band. This was the fourth annual concert presented jointly by the R/O District of the Jewish War Veterans and the Town of Ramapo to “SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.”
