The Manhattan Project

In October of 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved “the atomic program”, to develop an atomic weapon (bomb). It was named The Manhattan Project, and top secret. After Pearl Harbor and America’s declaration of War, the program became top priority. The United Kingdom and Canada joined the effort and more than thirty sites were involved in research and production. This sign was over the door leading into the research labs, it says it all. This is my last photo for the WWII Museum in New Orleans. It is an amazing museum, if you ever find yourself in that city, I highly recommend that you spend some time there.

I enjoyed your WWII museum photos. Will remember the museum (did not know it was there). We will be closer after the summer and might visit one day!

A great saying

Strong warning- but very necessary. I know several recovery groups that have a similar version in regards to their meetings. A valuable thought for any private conversation!

Wonderful work by the partaking countries….a very valuable project.let’s hope it’s not ever needed to be revisited!
That sign could be relevant in many circumstances!
