 Lord not another Sea Dog... we can't handle another one!!! Just kidding of course! Throw your sea bag anywhere and make yourself at home! Fill free to pick out a name for your self and fill out a profile, or skip that part as some of the members do. However pleas do either get a membership application from the Forum here or from the mail website at http://americancoldwarvets.org  fill it out and a copy of your proof of service with it and join the ranks of the forgotten! Lesslie, I will promise to be as big a pain as I can just so you will fill at home... after all... what are lundlubbers for afterall!? You see...last I checked, Colorado was still land locked, so I never needed any thing bigger than my 4x4! With it I could always drive around! Or of course a Horse...Of course I had to catch it first!

Don't worry...your Sea Dogs are beginning to take over the place! Lots of you here, I am sure Paul and others will stop in soon to welcome you aboard too... and to tell you not to listen to a word I say... after all... what do I know... I live on land!

hey folks, i was an AIRDALE :) worked as a structural mech on p-3's. (yep, sat on shore, drank beer. did as little as possible in 20 years. maybe that's why i retired as an e-5? and here i thought it would help keep my sanity. oops)

brunswick, maine, silly. brunswick, ga is that sub base. i don't do tight areas. crawling in the fuel tanks about drove me beyond insane. can you imagine me in a sub?

finally figured out how to sign in. must be going brain dead today. :)

oh, forgot to warn everyone to stay away from national native american veterans assoc.
i was involved with them, before i exposed the head as a fake warrior, then told the rest to stick it. not sure if the current one in charge is legit or not. but some of them are pretty shady. and not native. heck, i ain't sure if some were vets.

but anyway.

Honoring Cold War Veterans on NPR Weekend America 12-27-08



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.

NDAA 2002 - FACT


The NDAA 2002 was passed by congress October 2001 signed into Law Dec. 28 2001, In the NDAA that was approved by both houses, signed into law by the President, was the Sense of Congress to authorize the Campaign Medal for service in the Cold War.

NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2002

115 STAT. 1118 PUBLIC LAW 107–107—DEC. 28, 2001 Code, that the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross to that individual is warranted and that a waiver of time restrictions prescribed by law for recommendation for such award is recommended.

SEC. 556. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ISSUANCE OF CERTAIN MEDALS.
It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense should consider authorizing—

  1. the issuance of a campaign medal, to be known as the Korea Defense Service Medal, to each person who while a member of the Armed Forces served in the Republic of Korea, or the waters adjacent thereto, during the period beginning on July 28, 1954, and ending on such date thereafter as the Secretary considers appropriate;

  2. the issuance of a campaign medal, to be known as the Cold War Service Medal, to each person who while a member of the Armed Forces served satisfactorily on active duty during the Cold War; and

  3. the award of the Vietnam Service Medal to any member or former member of the Armed Forces who was awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal for participation in military operations designated as Operation Frequent Wind arising from the evacuation of Vietnam on April 29 and 30, 1975.


The Medal was not created! Why?

Were Cold War veterans casualties of the Iraq War planning?

We will continue to fight!
