Sunday 5-29-2022 at 9 am:
Members of Houston’s two Hebrew Order of David Lodges, their wives, family members and friends met at the Houston Veterans’ Cemetery to plant American Flags at the graves to commemorate Memorial Day.
The annual event was very well coordinated by HOD Galil board member Mark Katzenellenbogen.
Joining the HOD people were members of Houston’s Jewish War Veterans Post 574. TAPS was expertly blown on the bugle by Russel Haehl.
This is the sixth consecutive year that HOD has been a part of this important memorial.
Some unaffiliated Jewish volunteers appreciated joining the group and reciting Kaddish prior to the formal Flags for Fallen Vets event.
