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 Veteran
Hospital's, speak on community issues and work with other veterans in an effort
to strengthen support for Israel.
We need you to serve with us as a member of the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A. to carry on the obligation you took upon yourself in the service, to help others in time of need as well as your fellow Jewish Veterans. You are America’s finest or an Allied Nations finest. Join with us as we make a difference in the lives of others.

Teleconference Notes—November 18, 2008
Attendees: PNC Paul Bernstein NY, Homeland Security Chairman; Ray Biondo AR; Jerry Blum CA; Jesse Gersten AZ; Mike Jacobs CA; Mike London TX; PNC Monte Mayer NY; PNC Lawrence Schulman NY; Tom Shaw MN; Allan Udell FL
Staff: NED Herb Rosenbleeth; Larry Richardson; Mrs. Bailor; Greg Byrne
Subject: Homeland Security
• TSA will now be in charge of screening airline passengers against the government’s terrorist watch list.
• Cyber terrorism is a major concern for the federal government. Government websites and networks are under attack daily by hackers and foreign entities.
• PNC Paul Bernstein recently attended a summit meeting on homeland security for Jewish organizations, where he was briefed by FBI and Homeland Security officials.
o The FBI and Homeland Security have just raised the threat level to Heightened Alert. The level was raised as a result of the election and the upcoming inauguration. There is good reason to think that there will be an attack in the coming months to see how President-elect Obama will react. This happened to Presidents Clinton and Bush.
o There is also a strong indication that they may try to hit Wall Street or other financial targets to further damage the US and global economies.
o An attack could come from Al Qaeda central or a lone wolf cell. A lone wolf cell does not have the sophistication of Al Qaeda, but they are smaller and very difficult to detect.
o If Israel attacks Iran, Jewish organizations will need to increase security.
• Preventing terrorist attacks requires a combined effort by law enforcement, the private sector, and the general public. Citizens must be aware of suspicious activities in their communities.
