If you haven't done so already please check out the new thread in the "General Discussion" forum. George Stephanopolous is interviewing President Obama this Sunday and is taking suggestions for questions that he will ask the President. The original thread in the General Discussion forum has a link to the ABC news website where you can submit a question on the Cold War Medal. Several members have already submitted questions so this is our chance to be heard!

Not even close. Health care and Afghanistan dominated.

Well I hope ABC at least took note. I've sent several emails to them over the past few months suggesting they do a story on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall so maybe, just maybe, they will do a story sometime in November.

MISSION

The American Cold War Veterans is a nonpartisan 501c nonprofit veterans service organization incorporated in the State of Florida and founded on August 18, 2007 at The Truman Library in Independence, MO. As a group we are dedicated to all of our Brother and Sister Veterans, with special dedication to those who served during the Cold War era September 1945 to December 1991. Our Mission is to bring respect, recognition and awareness to Veterans of the Cold War era no matter what branch of service, whether active duty, reserve or National Guard. We are committed to honoring the sacrifices made by millions of American men and women during the Cold War, especially those who paid the ultimate price of life or liberty. We intend to see that the Cold War's history is completely and accurately understood by people everywhere. We are united in these goals and speak with one voice.

The Medal was not created! Why?

Were Cold War veterans casualties of the Iraq War planning?

We will continue to fight!
