December 25, 2008, 8:23pm (report abuse)I served in Germany from 1964-67 with the 2nd Battalion 75th Artillery. We worked hard and served proudly. For someone to think we did nothing for our country is the lamest comment I have ever seen or read! I came home after 2 1/2 years in Germany with a service connected disability. you think that and the sacrifices of all cold war vets are not that important? the word SELF-SERVING comes to mind about such a rude comment aimed at some of AMERICA'S GREAT SOLDIERS! Once home I was asked what war I fought...I told them I was a VIETNAM ERA VET which never really fit with me and many others I served with. Now finally I can hold my head high and tell them...I AM A COLD WAR VETERAN! Thank you to ALL veterans of all wars and the civilians who served or supported us!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

January 1, 2009, 1:46pm (report abuse)I read all these comments and am amazed at the remaining ferver of my brothers and sisters in-arms. I wish we would not fight one-another. For my two cents, when a person willing swears an oath to defend our country with our lives, and then faithfully provides that service, this person is deserving of any medal, certificate, or recognition this country can provide. I am a combat veteran and my number was called. If another members' number was not called, it does not make them any less a veteran than i. Thank every one of you who stood up and served. I salute all of you.

January 5, 2009, 8:42pm (report abuse)For those who served our country proudly during "peace time", this award is overdue. I served (USN 1975-1979). People also asked "which war I served in". What can you say! I earned my Good Conduct Medal, and nearly 4 years fleet service with only one other award - Sea Service Deployment Ribbon - for all those who served proudly, this can be a morale booster, and something that all cold war vets could be proud of.
