Vote Please
Hello Everybody, Obama is about to announce a Cold War Medal in the US and there is also an E-Petition in this country entitled "We should honour the service personnel who protected the UK during the Cold War" Now like the pensions pre-75 complaints and the ongoing E-Petition and also the ongoing NDM campaign please make a vote on the E-Petitions site.

I was with 4th Regt. RA in Munsterlager in 1973-74. I seem to remember being told by a fairly high ranking officer that if the Russians attacked from the East German border we had a shelf life of about 12 minutes! Talk about boosting morale. It was no wonder we drank the place dry.
