While the Association does not get involved in or take positions on elections, we do want to encourage our members and supporters to contact their senators and representatives on our issues. While the Connecticut US senate race has taken an interesting turn, Senator Joseph Lieberman had a comment in Waterbury yesterday (August 10) that our members need to note:

"...the enemy that faces us is as evil as Nazism and more dangerous than the Soviet communists we fought during the long Cold War."

This acknowledgement of the Cold War is important.Now, Senator Lieberman is a member of the House-Senate Conference on the National Defense Authorization Act for 2007. Section 552 of the House Version authorizes a Cold War Victory Medal. We need to ask him to pledge his support for keeping the Cold War Victory Medal in the final version of the NDAA for 2007. Whatever your feelings about the campaign, if you live in Connecticut, please contact Senator Leiberman with this simple request -- keep the Cold War Victory Medal in the NDAA for 2007.
