Cold War Salute

 A fellow Cold War Veteran and friend Steve McCurdy (The Minuteman) and two associates,
Valentine Dagher (Crazy Horse) and Ramone Hulett (Cutter) are undertaking a tremendous and honorable project.

They plan to honor Cold War Veterans throughout America, as a way of saying Thank You for Your Service to all those who served in the military between Sept. 1945 and Dec. 1991.

It is their goal to travel across the U.S. this summer, covering some 15,000 miles in a star-spangled SUV.

As they make this incredible journey they will present Cold War Medals to 100 veterans in 100 cities. They will also
make stops at several Cold War Missile Sites, Army, Navy and Air Force installations that were
an essential part of the Cold War.

This journey will become a filmed documentary of their tour of America and the presentation of honors befitting the sacrifices of Cold War Veterans: "Crazy Horse, Cutter, and the Minuteman A Cold War Salute."

Please visit the website http://coldwarsalute.com/ for more information and locations of planned stops.

Further information on the tour and how to donate to the cause to help travel costs and medals go to

This worthy endeavor needs the support of all Americans, with your help recognition will finally be given to those brave men and women.

The Department of Defense has decided not to issue a medal to our nation's
Cold Warriors. Help us right this wrong and do what is correct and remember the long and often bitter
fight for peace and freedom.
