Eric,
I agree!! That's why we are asking for a "Cold War Service Medal" NOT the Senator's "Victory" medal. For those who think that there weren't losses think again. I'm sure that a Marine SSGT., that I treated, wouldn't consider the loss of both of his legs as trivial. All Medics and Corpsmen would tell you that there were indeed injuries and deaths during the period of the Cold War. We were constantly hit with Alerts. It was as real as it could get. This service and sacrifice should be recognized with a Service Medal.
:thumbsup :thumbsup Doc
