DESCRIPTION:
Minna D Levine was a National President of the Jewish War Veterans Woman's Auxiliary from 1950-54. She spent her life helping veterans ever since her husband served in World War I.
She gave 20,000 hours at the V.A. hospitals in all kinds of weather (parties, programs and helping vets with their personal needs).
At the New Jersey convention Minna won the election as National President of the Jewish War Veterans Woman's Auxiliary in 1949, and it was a thrilling time."Minnesota votes for Minna Levine", New York votes for Minna Levine" it rang throughout the auditorium until every state was named.She won and served her term from 1950 through 1954, ensuring the needs of the veterans got heard from state figures right on up to the President of the United States.
She gave her time unselfishly, went to work and never stopped.Later on she founded "The Amputee Veterans Of America", and also served on the board of directors for the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Jamaica Plains, Massachusetts. Another of her greatest achievements "for her boys" was when she realized that the amputees needed privacy at the beach. Minna went to the governor of Massachusetts at the time and got land on Lake Cochituate in Natick Massachusetts, raised enough money to build a recreation hall, and created a private camp for the amputee veterans.
