I belong to a Cold War Vets group on Facebook and am ashamed at the number of guys there bitching and moaning about the lack of a Cold War Vets medal. i guess you can bothwr the VA to give you a certificate signed by the asshat Hagel if you really need recognition. Myself, i dont want one. i know what i and my brothers in the Airborne/Air Assault Infantry did, we helped to keep the peace so our family and friends could sleep tight at night. all i want after my service is the VA Home Loan guaramtee (thanks for that already) and when I am dead to give my only son a flag like the one that was handed down to me from my father.
That is another of Obama’s broken promises. He promised to create/award a Cold War Victory Medal to all who served during that time period. Nothing yet...then again, he said,”You can keep your own health insurance...”
