2023 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.

The Cold War Patriots (CWP) community is grateful for the efforts of Janine Anderson, a former nuclear weapons worker, who led the effort to create the first National Day of Remembrance. Our community was saddened by Janine’s passing in 2009, but we remain deeply grateful for her dedication to creating a day that recognizes this group of dedicated workers.

Every October, since 2009, Cold War Patriots 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. Often working in secrecy, these patriots have been instrumental in the protection of our nation – from WWII to today.

2023 marks the 15^th anniversary of the Cold War Patriots National Day of Remembrance™ and we invite all nuclear weapons, uranium industry workers, and their family members to help us recognize our living legends and remember the fallen heroes.
