I, like many cold war veterans recieved the AFEM which intitles me to many VA benefits. Many vets did not recieve any medals and are still entitled to some VA benefits. It is my feeling, that all that honerably served our country at any time. should recieve the same benefits. We had no control over starting a war with any one. We were still there to protect our country. I would be willing to pay for my own CWVM or CWSM. alltho, I feel I have already paid.

donnknow; once again I have to respond to your post. If I would want to read the stupid comments on newsvine and other political discussion boards ,I would go there and not on the ACWV forums. This is America, and you do have the right to voice your opinnion. Please do it on newsvine and not here Thank You.

DBMN; I have just read all your previous post. It appears to me that you are very critical of our leadership on this thread. If you know how to contact the SecDef and push our point across. then please take it upon yourself to do so.
Our leadership members are not on our payroll. they are volunters that are doing there best. Harold;

I agree with the thought that we cold war vets, should not blame the congress declaired war time vets for not completly honering our service to there country. It is the american congress that is disrespecting our service, by not declaring the cold war as war time. I feel all honeraby discharged veterans should be treated equally. We all signed papers, stateing we are prepared to die for our country. at any time. Just my feelings, right or wrong.

Kolzion ;I want to welcome you to the ACWV discussion forum. And thank you for your service. I belive you are refering to Lostexair's statement about the CWVA patches. the cwva is not the same org. as the acwv. Most of us used to belong to the cwva. We now belong to the acwv. So we are not likely to wear the cwva patches.

Coldwarrior, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your service to our great country. I wish we had more members post their activities while in service. I know I am not in the right thread for this. Nov. 9th sounds great

Coldwarrior; I find this post very impressive. This is one of the reasons that I get very upset when I hear that I am a peace time veteran. I served 01/17/57 to 02/28/61 I was on patrol on a destroyer 58-59 59-60 during the tiwan crissis. I recived a good conduct, a NDSM, a AFEM with one bronze star. I am a peace time veteran?
Keep up the good work Coldwarrior, and all you others on ACWV.

Jim, 1 Agree with your comment on the bonuses and how the VA. does much good for us Veterans. I won"t comment on the government health care. I'm just an old uneducated veteran that could not run our great country,that I love and are very proud to live in. Harold;
