Mission Statement

The Jewish War Veterans Post #373 and Spouse's Auxiliary are part of a federally chartered, service-oriented organization comprised of members who are men and women veterans of the armed forces or of the allied armed forces, associate members and patrons. It is part of the oldest active veteran organization in the United States and the only Jewish agency that can lobby Congress without registering as a lobbyist. Post members visit the Veteran's Hospital, speak on community issues and work with other veterans in an effort to strengthen support for Israel.

In the State of Florida, it is one of six posts in the Gulf Coast North District Council.  In turn, there are six District Councils throughout the State.  see Florida Posts.
