There are currently two bills in the US Congress S.R.402 and H.R.1968 to adoption of a Cold War Service Medal. It is part of the Senate's National Defense Authorization Act but not the House. We are still waiting for the combigned National Defense Authorization Act. Please ask your representatives that the Cold War Medal be part of the final National Defense Authorization Act.

SFC Lepine,
Thanks for that update. I will be contacting our Texas House and Senate leaders this week. Much appreciated for you (and the ACWA's) bird-dogging the CWVM legislation.
Regards,
Mick

I wrote Gov. Rick Scott of Florida. Not much help, but will continue to write the law makers.

Today there was another Cold War medal day in Bronbeek, Arnhem, the Netherlands. About 40 new members were decorated. More than 1000 members now! We keep going on this way..... Greetzzz, Tony Member KOVOM (Dutch Cold War Association) koudeoorlogveteranen.webs.com/ |

Ssgt,
Thank you for contacting Gov Scott!
I am realizing the need to do more legislatively here in Texas ... as we all should, nationally (if not internationally) on the Cold War Victory Medal (CWVM). There is still lots of work to be done.
To Tony - wish we could have been there for the medal ceremony in the Netherlands!!!!!
Mick

Because of cost I haven't commercially secured a Cold War Commemerative Medal as yet, but once I do I will wear it on my cycle vest and my AFCWA uniform.
