Thank you for your efforts in the matter of the Cold War Medal. As one who actively served during the Cold War, I am all for it. Circumstances and “rules of engagement” during the Cold War changed daily, and there was a lot of potential for something drastic to happen all the time. Sometimes I think the Cold War was much more dangerous in that respect than a “hot war.”

Does anyone have any idea how John McCain and Barrack Obama feel about the CWVM? We all are aware of Hillary Clinton’s support, but I have wondered about the rest.
Good question. Why not ask them? You can reach these candidates at:
