It seems President Obama does not think we did win the Cold War. In his speech and a later
interview he made no mention of the U.S. and our allies defeating the Soviet Union. So the lives lost, the men and women who served in the military during that time was all for nothing.
Not the first time we the Cold War Veterans have been slapped down, trod on and ignored.
Now our president kicks us when we are down.
A very good article

I guess he was laughing at us when he sent that letter saying he thought all the veterans should
be given a Cold War Medal.
So what is the next step? Where do we turn now? Is it over for the medal? We will not give up
the fight, and will continue to pester everyone we can.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog, and as a person who discusses issues facing veterans in our country, I wanted to let you know about a really great opportunity for veteran education.
Ohio Dominican University’s PATRIOTS Program is now available to military veterans who want to continue their education and pursue an associate, bachelor’s or graduate degree at a vet-friendly university with a commitment to quality teaching and learning. ODU has been designated by G.I. Jobs Magazine as a Military Friendly School, ranking in the top 15% of all schools nationwide.
The ODU PATRIOTS Program makes the transition back to school easier for veterans. The program will guide participants through the paperwork, help transfer any previous college credits, and provide the support veterans are looking for as they apply the discipline and practical experience that was received in the military to student life.
With more than 50 degree programs, ODU offers an exceptional education experience. And now, the financial assistance available to qualified veterans through the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 makes obtaining a degree a very affordable possibility.
It’s very easy for veterans to see if they prequalify for this opportunity. Check out the site herehttp://www.odupatriots.com/prequalification.aspx.
It would be great if you could let your readers know about this opportunity. ODU is committed to the advocacy of education goals of military veterans, and this program is a truly unique opportunity.
If you would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your time, and keep up the good work on your blog,
