I also understand that there will be displays of Cold War materials and possibly some military equipment used during the long hard struggle against Communism.
So if you live in California, in our around San Diego please plan to attend this important event.
Please call Joe Brunner for more information. We hope to have a very large turnout. This is a big moment for all Cold War Veterans, little by little it seems the word is getting out that we did contribute and our service did count. It is time to stand tall and let everyone know who you are.
I suggest that everyone contact their local city officials and ask them to have this years Veterans Day Parade as a symbol to dedicate the parade to Cold War Veterans.

American Cold War Veterans

My husband is a Disabled Veteran of the Cold War. He served as an Airman in Berlin, Germany where he was injured in 1979. We used to live in San Diego but the VA system has had us move to Houston, Texas to better care for him. I think what you are doing for not only him but for his Brother's and Sister's in Arm's is fantastic. Especially since the only Veteran group to recognize him is the VFW. His Dishonorably discharged brother get's more benefit's and recognition than he does. Thank you for doing this for him and the others even though we wont be able to attend, our heart's and prayer's will be with you all during this endeavor.
