Well Brothers and Sisters, the 21st Century has finally caught up with me and I can no longer afford the monthly cost of the internet, so I am signing off the forum for my final time.  I deeply regret having to do so, but the family budget comes first.

In closing I want to state, I didn't always see the same issues the way others did here, but there was never one minute that I did not like every one of you.  I always had your 6 and I know you had mine.  You are all a national treasure and each of you held the line and still do so for our country.

I'll have to follow the progrees of the Medal, as best as I can.

In closing, may your savior always have your 6 and I want all to know, even if we never get the Medal, the greatest honor I have had in my life was a period of time that I was honored and priviledged to wear my nations uniform in defense of Her.  I have come to know that there are some things in life and death that endure.  Serving my country in a perilous time has been an honor, never to be taken away from me.

The very best to all.

 Jim,

If you get the chance please try to check in by using the internet at your local library which is free so long as you have a library card. For years I refused to get internet at home because I had it at work and if I needed to get online during the weekend I could always use the local library. When my kids got older with the school projects & homework is when I finally broke down and got the internet at home.

Take care buddy and stay in touch. Taking care of the family is always priority #1 so I totally understand your decision. I hope things get better and that you're back to posting on a regular basis soon.

Jim, we always had your six. And just when I thought all those recent posts by you meant a revitalization by you, I now realize it was sort of a last hurrah, temporarily. I agree with the library route, it works and can't beat the price. Just look in on us, keep the fire burning and when you come back, and I'm sure you will, we'll be here.

Take care and thank you for all you've done. See you soon.

Jim,

Thank you for your service. 

Go with God, friend, compatriot, comrade in arms.  May the wind be at your back and a fair sky shine above you.

It sounds as though we shall meet on that other shore, brother in Christ.

Jim,
The library and a free e-mail account like hot mail should work.  So I won't say Good Bye, but I will say Good Luck and God Bless.

Jim,

You know we always had your back. I will miss your pithy and to the point posts. You have a knack for knowing
just the right time to dig at one of us to keep us on our toes.

Fair winds and following seas my friend. From the Irish in me

May the friendships you make,
Be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds
Be small ones for sure.
And trusting in Him
To Whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart,
Every step of the way.

Jerry

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!
