On and around October 30, 2009 many nationwide sites will celebrate the designation of October 30, 2009 by the US Senate and House of Representatives as a National Day of Remembrance honoring nuclear workers, uranium miners and those who served in creating our country’s nuclear deterrent. This day is dedicated to those who are no longer with us, including former CWP advisory committee member Janine Anderson, who proudly served her country for many years, and whose idea for a National Day of Remembrance was finally realized.
