The dedication service, scheduled for Monday afternoon, marks the completion of a memorial that will sit side by side to previously existing memorials dedicated to Protestant and Catholic chaplains.
The privately funded memorial received backing earlier this year from a joint Congressional resolution.
According to the cemetery, this year marks the 150th anniversary of service by rabbis in the U.S. Armed Forces.
