"Operation Benjamin" is dedicated to preserving the memory of Jewish-American soldiers who sacrificed their lives during World War I and World War II.
The purpose of the operation is to locate Jewish soldiers in American military cemeteries around the world who, for various reasons, were buried under markers that incorrectly represent their religion and heritage. To correct the mistake and thus provide comfort to the families of the fallen.
The project is named after Private Benjamin Garadetsky. A Jewish soldier who was mistakenly buried under a Latin cross in the American cemetery and memorial in Normandy.
