Our main focus is to help each other with information and moral support during challenging times.
Our secondary focus is to urge Congress to change the current laws and recognize soldiers of the atomic cleanup mission as “veterans who participated in radiation-risk activities during active service.”

I was in the 82nd Airborne and served time in Enewetak Atoll in 1978, my name is John Thomson (JT) . I knew a guy named Norman Sova “Stormin Norman” while in the 82nd. I went to Enewetak with Armando Guerrero and when we came back we were short timers.
Glad you found our website JT. I’ve added you to our roster and told our 250 Facebook group members you found us. You’ll be glad to know Stormin Norman remembers you and Armando. I sent you an email invite to our group but here’s the link if you didn’t get my invite: https://www.facebook.com/groups/120395714769077/
