I got this from another listing; just passing it along for your information.... kaite.. ============================ Subj: Cold War Recognition Certificates Date: 2/15/99 9:23:53 AM Eastern Standard Time From: english@C-ZONE.NET (English) Sender: DEEP-SOUTH-ROOTS-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU (A discussion list for genealogy in AL, GA, FL and MS) Reply-to: english@C-ZONE.NET (English) To: DEEP-SOUTH-ROOTS-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU I received this on one of the genealogy mailing lists of which I am a member and thought that you might be interested. It would be something for your grandchildren to have one day when we're WAY gone and they are studying the "COLD WAR" in their history classes. Just a thought! So if you know anyone who was in the military service during the time frame listed below, please let them know about this. Ginny >The Secretary of Defense has authorized a DOD Certificate of Recognition to >all soldiers (past and present) who served in the Armed Forces between 2 >September 1945 and 26 December 1991.
