In this photo taken Thursday, April 7, 2011, in Burbank, Calif., dentist Vera Silberberg poses with a photo of her father, Rabbi Morton Singer, killed during the Vietnam War. Capt. Singer is one of the 13 U.S. Army Chaplains to be honored on a monument at Arlington National Cemetery for Jewish chaplains. Silberberg was almost 4 when her father, a military chaplain, was killed in a plane crash in Vietnam while flying to observe Hanukkah with Jewish soldiers. He was serious in his commitment to help American soldiers worship in wartime. Yet his name, and those of 12 other Jewish clergymen, are absent from monuments at Arlington National Cemetery that honor more than 240 other fallen military chaplains. A new congressional effort backed by Jewish groups and survivors of the chaplains aims to change that.
