"Pay to all what is owed to them ... honor to whom honor is owed." (Romans 13:7 English Standard Version)
U.S. Senators Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine), Jim Webb (D-Va.), and Mary Landrieu (D-La.) recently introduced the Cold War Service Medals Act of 2009, bipartisan legislation to authorize the secretaries of the military departments to award Cold War Service Medals to American veterans. No medal currently exists to honor those who served and defended the United States during the Cold War.
“America’s Cold War veterans deserve every honor we can bestow upon them for their hard work and dedication to keeping our nation safe,” Senator Lincoln said. “The Cold War Service Medal would allow military service members, veterans, and their families to receive the recognition and honor they rightfully deserve. I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure our veterans receive the support and care they and their families need. It’s the least we can do as a grateful nation."
