MOWW News:

Between 1945 and 1992, the United States performed well over 1,000 full-scale nuclear tests. NSRC Senior Historian Alan B. Carr tells the incredible story of weapons testing: from the remarkable Trinity test of July 16, 1945 to the nation’s most recent test, Julin-Divider.

Carr will discuss why, where and how the US performed tests – he’ll also show videos of many historic events. Part 1 of this presentation was Tuesday May 18. Part 2 will be Tuesday June 15.

The meeting will be held via Zoom. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. with a brief business meeting.

The presentation will begin at about 7:15 p.m. The Military Order of the World Wars meetings are open to interested citizens with RSVP at no cost. Please call LTC Gregg Giesler at 505.662.5574 to get Zoom meeting information.

Act of Congress chartered the Military Order of the World Wars in 1919 as a national patriotic organization. The principal objectives of the MOWW are continuing service to the Nation, and patriotic educational opportunity for the nation’s youth and citizens. Current youth programs are focused upon annual Youth Leadership Conferences for high school students presented in New Mexico by its related Sunbelt Patriotic Youth Leadership Conferences, Inc.
