I wonder how many people know about a Jewish man who saved America? One of Americas greatest hero's?

During the revolutionary war he gave up his entire fortune to supply and finance General Washington's war against England. He eventually died in poverty. I'm a Christian that owes a lot to a Jewish Merchant that received very little mention in the history books.

    There have been many contributions made by Jews, even though there are some ones I don't like, such as the gun grabbers Feinstein and Schumer. Not to mention coming up with the polio vaccine, ect. Israel especially rocks when it comes to making contributions to the world.

    Here is a rather extensive list: http://centerforsanity.blogspot.com/2006/08/israel...
