Recently I saw a ribbon that was listed and was called the Cold War ribbon. My whole time in the AF was served during the Cold War. Is the ribbon for real and how do people that served during the cold war get it added on the DD Form 214 ?

No, but there is a Certificate
This is the Army Info, Air Force may be the same

To clarify some of the earlier responses, there is no OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED Cold War ribbon. You can find the Cold War Victory Medal on Medals of America if you want to pad your post-service ribbon rack. It is not authorized for wear by any military service, but if your American Legion color guard wears ribbons, you can put it on there.

There is no Cold War medal/ribbon. We did receive a certificate from Clinton though.
