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. Just moaning on this website is not enough "Our Apathy To Not Bother To Vote On These E-Petitions Leads To The Governments Apathy To Award, So Far As They Are Concerned We Are Not Bohered So Why Should They Be" Please go on Google pick up the links and Vote. Cheers Pony Moore Ex-RN

A cold war medal would be a medal to recognize the services of all serving members during this time. I personally served on 213 Squadron Canberra B (i) 6's at RAF Bruggen. We used to carry the US nuclear tactical weapon and many of us spent a week at a time in the QRA compound.
