I just spoke with Lloydene about the membership packages. She said the board has to meet and approve the design. Just so there are no swasticas, hammer and sickles, or crescent moons on them, it will be good for me.........

I will save my CWVA patches I bought, but would never wear them..............

Why wouldn't you wear the CWVA patch? (of course not on uniform, but why not something else?)

 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.

This group started out as members of the Cold War Veterans Association, but there was some kind of "difference of opinion" on direction and the owner fired the hierachy of the association, so instead of running with tail between the legs, these men formed their own AMERICAN COLD WAR VETERANS ASSOCIATION, comprised of basically the same group that helped move the previous asscociation forward, getting veterans groups like VFW, LEGION, AMVETS and others to ENDORSE and support the Cold War Medal.  So don't confuse the CWVA with AMERICAN CWVA. The Cold War Veterans Association still has a web site but no more forum.  Here, everyone rallied to this site with the mission of gaining due respect for recognition of servicemembers that served during the cold war through a Cold War Service Medal.  The other group steered more towards providing historical points of view and teamed up with the Cold War Museum.

Colleen,

I understand your confusion and hope that the above posts answered your question.

We are separate, and we think, the better group. You are home here and join us in the fight.
Yes you will have to send your DD214 to Scott L'Ecuyer

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!
