Cold War Remembrance Exhibit Coming to Paducah

An organization that advocates for workers in the nuclear weapons industry will honor Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant and Allied Chemical workers this week with an exhibit at Lourdes Hospital.

Cold War Patriots is a community resource and advocacy group that helps nuclear weapons and uranium workers and their families. It will be displaying its Remembrance Quilt Experience, a traveling tribute to the men and women who worked in the nuclear weapons and uranium industries, beginning this Wednesday.

An interactive kiosk with a behind-the-scenes look at the atomic weapons program in the U.S., profiles of the men and women who made it possible, and the massive industrial process that made up the nuclear weapons program are also included. 

A private reception for Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant and Allied Chemical workers and their families will be held at the Marshall Nemer Pavilion at Lourdes Hospital in the Borders Community Room on June 28 at 10 a.m. This reception will feature a special presentation about the exhibit and refreshments. Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant and Allied Chemical workers or family members can call 888-903-8989 to obtain a free ticket.
