I have not been posting here much lately. Some days I do not even check to see what is happening.

Fighting a bad round of depression, starting new meds next week. Sure hope it helps.

And I went to the surgeon last week to check a hernia. After she poked and prodded some told me I have two
hernias, one on each side. So I will have them repaired on Oct. 27th. This also has me feeling down, nervous and upset.

Man I have to get out of this mood and back to my old self soon.

Jerry, 

We have missed you. 

I don't know your Faith and I hope you are not offended by this, but I take comfort in Ephesians 6:10-13.  "We wrestle not against flesh and blood."  Keep up the fight!

Peace and God Bless.

Jerry,
I had a hernia about 33-34 years ago; not a big deal, even back then in the medical Dark-Ages. With the advances seen in medical procedures and operating technologies during the last three decades, you'll be up and about, and good as new in no time flat. Take my word for it.

So has anyone in the leadership been in contact with Gates' staff (in person or on the phone) to discuss the Cold War Medal issue?  DoD isn't going to change its position just because its at the top of the list.

Jerry,
I'm praying for you.  I'm sure you'll be fine.  You've seen worse and got through it.  You'll do it again.  Without our lows, how will we truly enjoy our highs?  A lot of people in your corner.  Hang tough my friend.
Jim

Yo Jerry.  No need to get bumbed out.  The weather is great this time of year.  Consider the consequences if you didn't get the hernia fixed.  You gotta do what you gotta do.  Where do you live Jerry?  I was up in DC this week, saw the Vietnam Veterans memorial, walked around the National Mall.  It was very pleasant.  Love that town.

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!
