Today is Giving Tuesday, a global day that celebrates generosity and encourages people to contribute to their favorite nonprofits and charities. Please donate today to the Atomic Heritage Foundation and preserve the Manhattan Project through the first-hand accounts of participants and the top-secret places where they worked.
As one of the thousands of Manhattan Project veterans who were not on the front lines in a terrible war, but otherwise made a major contribution to its end, I am pleased and honored that the Atomic Heritage Foundation has brought public attention to our efforts.
