We got a email from our friend Wayne Lutz. He has a new project I would like you Veterans consider volunteering for. If you Blog or have a web page link with him this is a great thing Wayne is working on so milbloggers help him; link with and consider participating. Below is Wayne's letter:


Gentlemen, hello:

There is a new organization called Big Brothers-In-Arms that I co-founded
with Gold Star Mom Mary Conboy and that is a collaboration between several
troop-support groups. The volunteers that we seek for this group (BBIA) are
mostly from the Vietnam/Cold War Eras, so I was wondering if you would be
good enough to link to us on your ACW V site, and perhaps make a mention in
your blog.

It's a great effort and in just a few short weeks we've already helped
several current warriors and gathered a couple of hundred volunteers, and
gotten quite a bit of media attention.

Please look at the site - it's only one page, at
http://www.bigbrothersinarms.org and let me know if you can do this. Check
out the news clip with me and my friend Ellen Saracini (You may recall that
Ellen is the wife of Victor Saracini, who was the pilot of the plane that
was flown into the South Tower on 9/11.)

If you have physical meeting places you could also download and print our
trifold for us, and use our logos (on the site) to link to us.

Thanks men, and keep up your fight.

- Wayne

 I think this is a great idea. One item that needs correcting before we allout support it. If wayne would change the font size to squeeze it our war in his banner (add the word "Cold") to prove acknowledgment of our war, then I vote all in. Otherwize I have a hard time supporting another group that keeps us outside the perimeter.

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!
