We are pleased to announce our 59th annual Mickey Marcus Memorial Service at the Jewish Chapel on the grounds of the United States Military Academy at West Point. The service will be held on Sunday, May 4th, 2025, starting at 10:00am.The Jewish Chapel address is 750 Merritt Road, West Point, NY, 10996.
This year we will celebrate the contributions of volunteers from North America from 1948 and today. We will remember COL/Aluf David “Mickey” Marcus (USMA ’24) on his 77th yahrzeit.
Because of the tight security regulations at West Point, we will only be able to grant you entrance if you notify us by April 15th using this form for each member of your party.
We look forward to seeing all our friends at this special commemoration.
