A Message from Senator Mel Martinez
Casework Corner
*Mr. Dyson served in the military during the Cold War. He contacted the Office of Senator Martinez for assistance in requesting a medal from the U.S. Government for his service.
A caseworker contacted the Army's Human Resources Command and learned that a medal for Cold War Service has not been officially approved, but an official certificate of service is available. The caseworker submitted Mr. Dyson's paperwork to the Army, proving his Cold War Service. As a result, Mr. Dyson recently learned he would receive a Government-issued Cold War Recognition Certificate for his service.

A certificate would be really neat, maybe a real medal would be better, even if a veteran has to ask for it, but I for one would rather have some regular veteran benefits, like a property tax break.
