Bill > HR5757

This bill aims to amend Title 10 of the United States Code to create a "Cold War Service Medal" that can be awarded to members of the Armed Forces who served honorably for at least 24 consecutive months during the Cold War period, which is defined as the period from September 2, 1945, to December 26, 1991. The medal can also be awarded to those who were deployed outside the continental United States for at least 30 days during the Cold War, or were members of the reserve component called to active duty for Cold War-related exercises or operations. The bill directs the Secretary of Defense to establish regulations for the issuance of the medal and to take appropriate actions to expedite its design and implementation.
