Silk banner embroidered with 220 names of World War II veterans associated with Beth Jacob Congregation, then located at 3847 Turnberry Circle, Houston, TX. Each name has a star next to it, including gold stars for those killed in action. A Star of David features in the center of the banner, which measures 8.75 feet in length.
