Cold War Certificate Program

In accordance with section 1084 of the Fiscal Year 1998 National Defense Authorization Act, the Secretary of

Defense approved awarding Cold War Recognition Certificates to all members of the armed forces and qualified

federal government civilian personnel who faithfully and honorably served the United States anytime during the

Cold War era, which is defined as Sept. 2, 1945 to Dec. 26, 1991.

This is the only official site on which to request Cold War Recognition Certificates. This site is operated by the United States Army, the executive agency for the Cold War Recognition Program. Cold War Recognition

Certificates are available to qualified individuals at no cost. Any other site offering these certificates or

replicas for sale or purchase are not official sites and are not approved or endorsed by the US Army.

Due to the remarkable success of this program, turn-around time for mailing certificates will be a minimum of 2 months. The CWRS Operations Team is working as fast as possible to clear the backlog. Please do not

request feedback prior to 2 months from the request date. Thank you for your patience and interest in the

Cold War Recognition program.

Who is eligible?

All members of the armed forces and federal government civilian

personnel who faithfully served the United States during the Cold

War era, Sept. 2, 1945 to Dec. 26, 1991. Individuals requesting

a certificate will certify that their character of service was

honorable. Acceptable supporting document for proof of service

is any official government or military document with recipient's

name, Social Security Number or Military Service Number or

Foreign Service Number, and date of service.

Yes it costs them over a dollar to mail it and it is like it looks on the web site I have one here in the envelope I got last year, I was more impressed with the Army pin I got from Chief of Staff Schoomaker and the certificate he sent for that Army program Mike I sent them a copy of my DD214 from 1973 thru 1982 and about 2 months later I got it.
