Press Release Body = On April 12th, 2007 in Washington, DC - Senators Hillary Rodham
Clinton (D-NY) and Susan M. Collins (R-ME) and Representative Robert E. Andrews
(D-NJ) announced they are reintroducing legislation in the Senate and House of
Representatives to establish a military service medal to honor Cold War Veterans.
The Cold War Medal Act of 2007 honors those veterans who fought for our freedom and
served their nation admirably during the Cold War.

The U.S. Senators announced this legislation would establish a military service
medal to honor Cold War Veterans.

"I am pleased to be an original cosponsor of this legislation to honor the members
of our Armed Forces who served honorably during the Cold War," said Senator Collins.
"Throughout our nation's history, the heroes who wear the uniforms of the American
Armed Forces put the comforts of civilian life aside to advance the cause of
freedom. The veterans of the Cold War did their duty with honor and distinction. The
Cold War Medal would be an appropriate means of expressing our gratitude for their
devotion and sacrifice."

"It is important that we not forget those who served during the Cold War, a decades
long struggle in which the forces of freedom eventually triumphed. Our victory in
the Cold War was made possible by the willingness of millions of Americans in
uniform to stand prepared against the threat from behind the Iron Curtain. Our
victory in the Cold War was a tremendous accomplishment and the men and women who
served during that time deserve to be recognized," said Senator Clinton.

Bill S.1097 is a bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to provide for the
award of a military service medal to members of the Armed Forces who served
honorably during the Cold War era. download bill.

The CWVA asks all Veterans and supporters to contact thier Senators and
