The Veterans Memorial Park and Education Center Society will be dedicating the Cold War Monument, their most recent project, on Monday, Oct. 12 at 1 p.m. This event will take place at Veterans Park at Airport Park in Matamoras. The Cold War spanned the years 1945 to 1991.
Although not a shooting war, it was a time of serious tension between the United States, its allies and the Soviet Union. To honor the sacrifice of the men and women who served during that period of time, park sponsors are inviting all military posts, organizations, individual veterans, and the general public to attend the dedication. Military posts that would like to take part in the ceremony with their color guards, are asked to contact Dick Gassmann at 570-491-4003 570-491-4003 , or Gene Goldner at 570-686-1448 570-686-1448 .
Nice words and photo. I was a SAC warrior for about six years, at Plattsburgh and Griffiss AFBs in New York State, and at SAC headquarters, Omaha, Neb.
