Was Leland Lou Diamond usmc Jewish?

Answer 1

NO! LOU was NOT Jewish. He was Episcopalian - Journalist Marc Parrott notes that Diamond's funeral service was Episcopalian. He came from a part of Canada that is heavily influenced by the Church of England.

Someone researching LOU found a AJHS WWII Jewish Servicemen's Card, 1942-1947; The "Gunny" was a member& frequent visitor of the Toledo, OH Jewish Serviceman's [USO] Club sponsored by the National Jewish Welfare Board [NJWB] in 1943 as indicated by his registration card coded as a NON -Jew. If you do NOT know how to read the card, nor research the card, you cannot interpret the coding of the card and you can assume something that is WRONG, just as the person did that irresponsibly posted the card without an explanation.

Do your research before posting erroneous material.

If you have, questions ask. Do NOT assume.
