American Cold War Veterans - National Meeting
The April 30th general meeting is open to anyone interested in the Cold War, our continued pursuit of a Cold War Victor/Service Medal. We have been attempting to convince Congress to authorize and DIRECT the Department of Defense to issue this medal for several years. Last year a provision was included in the House of Representatives version of the National Defense Authorization Act 2009; but was stripped from the bill during House/Senate debate.Also being discussed will be long range plans for a memorial dedicated to The Forgotten Heroes Of The Cold War. Which we hope to have erected in the Washington, DC. areaAnother goal is to persuade Congress to declare May 1st of every year as a Day Of Remembrance Of The Cold War.This meeting will be held at the Best Western Rosslyn/Iwo Jima 1501 Arlington Blvd Arlington, VA 2209-3001 Phone: 800-424-1521 or 703-524-5000, ask for group sales and mention American Cold War Veterans to receive the group rate.
