Bad link for Certificate info

The link provided at the end of the article does not provide information on the Cold War certificate, it goes to https://www.hrc.army.mil/site/index-flash.aspx which is the Army Human Resources Command homepage. There is no information or search box available on that page to find the information.

I would edit the article myself but am not familiar enough with Wikipedia to do this.

Polemic

Those who want to campaign for a Cold War service medal should set up their own site; we are not here to host one. In particular, This is the only certificate offered by the U.S. Department of Defense for service during a war begs the question; the Cold War was not a war - although it contained at least two. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 13:33, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But it was a war, a constant and continual one, according to definition by Webster:

2 a : a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism b : a struggle or competition between opposing forces or for a particular end <a class war> <a war against disease> c : variance, odds 3

It's also called a war in public law, section 1084 of the Fiscal Year 1998 National Defense Authorization Act. The Cold War was also not without combat or death. But then keeping it simple if Congress calls it the Cold War this page is about it, what would you propose it be called? I mean just in case we decide you should be the new world leader. 75.43.89.203 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:27, 26 February 2010 (UTC).[reply]
