Information to follow

The Sound of Silence Project is of interest to all personnel who actively participated in the Cold War efforts to maintain and handle the Nation’s nuclear arsenal. We were subjected to toxic chemicals and radiation. This movement is designed to get recognition for our exposures and compensation for those of us who have suffered due to that exposure.

Looking For Help?

Bob Daigle is asking if any NWs between 1958-1961 have records of exposure in their records or if they were monitored. Richard Gurule also has questions about exposure records.
