2024 Official Cold War Patriots

2024 OFFICIAL COLD WAR PATRIOTS 
NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE


In 2009, the U.S. Senate first adopted a resolution honoring America’s nuclear weapons industry workers. Every year since, the Senate has renewed this resolution designating October 30th as a National Day of Remembrance (NDR). Cold War Patriots and Professional Case Management are the only advocacy and in-home care organizations that drove this effort and continue to do so every year. Since 2009, CWP members have gathered to honor the men and women who worked in the U.S. nuclear weapons and uranium industries and recognize those who are no longer with us.

HONORING OUR LIVING LEGENDS & FALLEN HEROES

We invite you to the 16th Official Cold War Patriots National Day of Remembrance™. This year we will host our in-person ceremony in select cities. For those unable to attend in-person, we welcome you to attend our virtual ceremony. During both ceremonies, we will light candles and recite the names of workers who have recently passed.
