U.S. Army Veterans Find Comfort in Israel on U.S. Memorial Day
(Jerusalem Post) Alan Rosenbaum - 277 U.S. Army veterans traveled to Israel with the Jewish National Fund-USA partner Heroes to Heroes, a U.S.-based organization that provides spiritual healing and peer support for American combat veterans who have attempted suicide or are on a path to self-destruction. In partnership with JNF-USA, American and Israeli military veterans are also able to meet and bond during a 10-day journey to Israel, where teams of 12 to 14 U.S. vets are led by program alumni. While in Israel, the vets are joined by their Israeli counterparts and visit various sites important to Israel's path to independence.
