My husband was a participant in the A-Bomb testing in 1953 in Nevada. He was in the MP's, had to dig a trench, and when it was exploded they were told not to raise their heads otherwise they would not have one. The bomb destroyed everything a 1 1/2 mile from the site and he was a mile. He has clippings that are very amazing. His skin has suffered I think from the fall out - every bit of skin that was explosed is very dry, flaky and full of skin cancers. He has had as many of 100 frozen at a time and they continue to return. Most of the VA say it is sun damage - I think they are nuts but I don't have a degree. He suffers with it but does not complain. I admire him for standing up for his country and being involved in a test they no one had an idea of the results. I salute him and he is my hero.. If there are other veterans that were involved in this activation, please feel free to contact us. We would love hearing from you.
