Donald Rumsfeld's signature might have a similar effect on visiting liberals and that would be cool. ;)Heh heh heh GMTA, I had the same reaction.

Something that I learned about a year ago is that there have been a lot of "medals" issued over the years that many veterans are not aware of.
For instance, my DD-214 lists four "medals" from my two years in the Army during the Korean War. In researching, I found that I am now qualified for five additional ones, in addition to the Cold War Certificate. They are:
ROK Korean War Service Medal - issued by the ROK and qualified people can get the actual medal - for free.
Cold War Victory Commemorative Medal
Overseas Service Commemorative Medal
Combat Service Commemorative Medal
US Army Commemorative Medal

I refused to pursue this when they first came out because the signatures were of the clinton administration.
Nowadays it might be different.
But the bottom line is that most people really don't give a rip what you did in the Cold War.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not against it all. I dunno...maybe I'm sort of lukewarm to it because I can't tell anybody how I got my MUC, NUC and Expeditionary medal :)

**Hubby actually waited until after Clinton was gone to retire. He refused to have that signature on his retirement certificate.**
I hear that!...my husband hated receiving the certificate with Clintoon's name on it and returned it with a "not so nice" note telling Bill where he could shove it!
