Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2004 5:18 am Post subject: Request Your Cold War Certificate |
|
|
Here is a sample letter that you can copy and paste and edit with your own information in order to receive your certificate. You also have to include a copy of your DD 214.
It only took about a month after sending the letter before I received mine.
It is signed by Secretary Rumsfeld. Do it now in case Kerry gets elected and selects Alec Baldwin or some other lunatic as Secretary of Defense.
Here is a link that explains this.

You're welcome.
Maybe the moderators can pin this so it doesn't get buried. I am sure there are more veterans who haven't heard of the program. _________________ FreeSpeechForums |

Hmmm...No medal authorized. For a moment there I thought there was a chance I'd double my medal count. _________________ VP-31/HSL-31/HSL-35 '70-'74 |

I found out about this thing from military.com. If I remember right it was started a few years ago. I personally don't want it. I feel that i served in peacetime in the 80's and am proud to have served but come on now, it was still peacetime. we have fight here now and we need people to get the word out, if after the fight we want some frivilous piece of paper to announce how we served during a period of no fighting then by all means do so. _________________ life is great |
