Baltimore, MD – May 26, 2025 – Jewish veterans from Jewish War Veterans of the USA Post 167, along with Scouts from Pack and Troop 611, joined forces to place flags near veterans' graves at Hebrew Young Men’s Cemetery in Gwynn Oak and at the grounds near the Maryland Free State Post 167 Cemetery in Rosedale.

A special thank you goes to Mel Shichtman, Rabbi Dovid Cynamon, Chuck Sandler, and Dan Berkovitz.
