Get your Cold War Recognition Certificate from Army Human Resources Command. To Commemorate your service, Medals of America designed a Commemorative Medal for you to display and wear on civilian attire. But every Cold War Veteran should apply for the Recognition Certificate. It’s neat and official. Something you can be proud of and frame. No, the gov hasn’t awarded a medal or ribbon as of yet, but you need to get this official piece of recognition. Once they wake up and let us mint one for the millions of you out there, you can frame it up next to your certificate.
IT SHOULD BE FREE! – if they make you pay for postage or something, let us know and we will put it in this article.
(DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO!)
