Thank you Garrett for your final comments in this video! My Dad was not only a proud Atomic Veteran, but he also went on as a Civil Servant for the DOD. Even serving on one of the boots on the ground NATO committees. He knew first hand the importance and the dangers of nuclear war. He was sworn to secrecy for nearly 50 years. I have never fully appreciated his silent work all those decades as much as I have these past several months. Watching the relationships he helped to build through NATO, USAID and others had been beyond heartbreaking. However I have found my path. I just retired from education early so I can fully participate in the peaceful resistance in memory of Dad and all he served with and for. As well as for the future of my three year old granddaughter πŸ™πŸ»β€οΈ

Odd aha moment in regards to Oppenheimer. Dad was aboard the USS Curtiss in the Bikini Atoll Islands in the spring of 1954. This is where he experienced his first Atomic Test, the Castle Bravo Shot. Apparently that was the same time frame the government was attempting to discredit Oppenheimer, as he was against any further bomb testing.
