Founding Member of Cold War Patriots Greg Austin Presents Commemorative Official National Day of Remembrance™ Pin to Tennessee Senators Lamar Alexander and Marsha Blackburn in Washington, DC

DENVER, COLO. (Oct. 1, 2019) – Greg Austin, founding member of the Cold War Patriots Advisory Committee, was in Washington, DC, recently to present a commemorative Official Cold War Patriots National Day of Remembrance™ lapel pin to Tennessee Senators Lamar Alexander and Marsha Blackburn.

Each year since 2009, Cold War Patriots (CWP), a division of Professional Case Management, has encouraged the U.S. Senate to designate October 30 as the National Day of Remembrance for former nuclear weapons complex workers. This year, Senator Alexander will introduce the resolution to the Senate. The Senator also introduced the resolution last year with 16 other Senators co-sponsoring it.

In addition to the official declaration, CWP holds events across the nation to honor the living legends and remember those who sacrificed their health and lives to keep America free by working in these nuclear facilities. CWP will commemorate the 11^th Annual Official National Day of Remembrance with 11 events across the country in late October. All events will be held from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and will include lunch.
