Thirty-four young Jewish men from Maine died in the service of their country in the two World Wars.

More than just names on a public memorial marker or grave stone, these men were getting started in adult life. They had newly acquired high school and college diplomas, they had friends, families and communities who loved and valued them, and felt the losses of their deaths.
