ACWV National Meeting Washington, DC

American Cold War Veterans - National Meeting

The April 28th 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. We will be storming Capitol Hill to convey the importance of this legislation and for it to be included in the National Defense Authorization Act 2011.

Another goal is to persuade Congress to declare May 1st of every year as a Day Of Remembrance Of The Cold War.
