2012 Senate NDAA has a provision for Cold War Service Medal

In the advanced press release of the Senate version of the NDAA 2012 which can be found here 
http://armed-services.senate.gov/press.htm 
on page 9 shows that there  is included a provision to authorize the Secretary of Defense to issue a Cold War Service Medal.

We must continue to ask for all members of Congress to support this. Ask your Senators to ensure
the provision remains in the NDAA.

Also we need support for the two stand alone bills, S. 402 Cold War Service Medal, and H.R. 1968 both with the same title and same wording. Ask your Senators to cosponsor S.402 and push for a
full house vote.

Ask your Congressman/woman to cosponsor H.R. 1968, and ask them to be sure that the medal
does not get stripped from the NDAA during House/Senate committee meetings.

Remind everyone that 2011 is the 20th anniversary of the end of the Cold War, this would be the
perfect time to recognize and honor all those who served from Sept. 1945 to Dec. 1991
