|
|
| . |
| Members can now order
the official organization dress hat. It is the same
style garrison hat as the VFW, American Legion and other veterans organizations
wear. The hats are navy and powder
blue with red piping and powder blue lettering. The
right side of each hat
comes with the KDVA emblem centered and the letters "KDVA" and Detachment number
on the right front flap. The left side comes with the
state name embroidered on it. Hats can be ordered in either the Standard style
or Fort Knox style. An official order
blank will be available from your detachment or you can get
one from this website with instructions. (Print hat order form here)
If you are an at-large-member (no Detachment affiliation) your
hat will have no detachment number on the right side. Life Member iron-on hat
patches (red with white letters) for the right side are available at $2.75 each.
It is worn flush against the right side front flap.
When new Life Members order a hat the Life patch will be be
provided at no charge. To place your order, print off and
fill out the order form and mail to it
with a check/money order to the address
on the form. The manufacturer will send your hat
directly to you.

years of being out-of-print, Muffled
Shots is available once again. When
it was first released as a mass market paperback by Dell in
1988, this novel of small unit action on the Korean DMZ in the

"He writes with clarity and
power . . . First rate!"
W.E.B. Griffin, author of the Brotherhood of War and The
Corps series
“ . . . a well written account of the little
known conflict that still rages on the Korean DMZ . . . a
poignant personal testimony to those forgotten heroes.” Al
Santoli, author of Everything We Had
“Noteworthy
. . . invites comparison with Robin Moore’s The Green
Berets.”
Small Press

COLD
WAR MEDAL: Congress limited its
official recognition to the Cold War Recognition Certificate.
This medal perfectly compliments the Cold War Certificate.
Note, it does not say “commemorative” anywhere on the
medal. It has been
adopted as an official medal of the Military Order of Foreign
Wars. It offers a unique form of recognition specifically for
citizen-soldiers and Federal civilian employees who served
during the cold war between the inclusive dates of
September 2, 1945
and
December 26, 1991
.
The Cold War Medal was designed by Nadine Russell, the
Chief of Creative Heraldry at the Army's
Institute
of
Heraldry
and the designer of many campaign and service medals, including the
Southwest Asia Service Medal, the Armed Forces Service Medal,
and the Outstanding Military Volunteer Service Medal.
On the medal’s obverse side, the allegorical figure of Freedom
sits upon a vantage point over-looking a landscape suggestive of
the Fulda Gap, the anticipated point of attack by Communist
forces in
Europe
during the Cold War.
The Fulda Gap thus represents all territory subject to the
threat of invasion or war. The sitting figure also alludes to a
long-term and watchful military presence. She holds a sheathed
Roman sword in her hand, point down. The sword represents
military strength, and its being sheathed is symbolic of
defensive military action. Her foot rests on a book,
representing both history and law. To her right is an American
bald eagle grasping a bundle of arrows and an olive branch. The
eagle, symbolic of the
United States
, represents the principles of freedom. The arrows stand for the
willingness to use force in support of freedom, and the olive
branch alludes to the goal of peace. Behind the figure of
Freedom, and on the horizon of the landscape in front of her, a
sun rising in the east symbolizes the birth of a new era of
peace and stability arising from the end of the Cold War.
Superimposed over the geographic scene, and below the rising
sun, is the inscription, “Promoting Peace and
Stability”, which is taken from the wording on the
Congressional certificate and which identifies the efforts
recognized by the medal.
In the center of the medal on the reverse side, the inscription,
“IN
RECOGNITION OF YOUR SERVICE”, is enclosed within a stylized wreath of laurel, which represents honor.
The wreath is tied at its base by a ribbon, the ends of which
rise above a shield taken from the coat of arms of the
United States
. The dates “
2 September 1945
-
26 December 1991
”, which are taken from
the Congressional certificate, appear beneath the inscription.
The Cold War medal
celebrates this epoch, which will ultimately be regarded as one
of the great events of the Twentieth Century. The price is
$24.95 and includes a ribbon bar. For $30.95 you receive
the medal boxed with the Full medal, ribbon bar, miniature medal
and lapel pin. |

HONORABLE SERVICE MEDAL:
Since World War II the Armed
Forces have been involved in numerous military operations,
beginning with the Korean War and extending up the war against
Iraq
.
Although a variety of campaign and service medals have been
authorized for these wars and operations, the Defense Department
has not established an honorable service emblem for discharged
veterans. The Honorable Service Medal was created to fill this
void.
This medal is not issued or authorized by the Federal
Government, nor can it be worn on the active duty uniform.
However, it has been adopted by the Military Order of Foreign
Wars and is offered as a purely civilian device to commemorate
honorable military service. Its central motif is the famous
"ruptured duck," adapted from the Honorable Service
lapel pin used during the interim period between the First World
War and following the Second World War. The cross represents the
military services: the Army, Navy (including the Coast Guard),
the Marine Corps and the Air Force. The laurel wreath represents
honor and achievement. The colors of the ribbon are suggested by
the American Defense Service Medal and the National Defense
Service Medal. The blue, white and red are the national colors,
and the gold represents the golden opportunity of American youth
to serve the National Colors. The Honorable Service
Medal is boxed and comes with a Ribbon Bar. The price is
$24.95 and includes shipping and handling.
