Veteran Documents of the
Manhattan Project
Main Page
| Web Master's Note...
Everyone who participated in the Manhattan Project received a certificate signed by Secretary of War Henry Stimson. The date on the certificate was always the same: August 6, 1945, the date the first atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It was on this date that the war-time secret first became known. 99.9% of those receiving the certificate had no knowledge of what they had been working on until that day. Also, the military personnel were issued separation papers upon their release from the Project. Occasionally, personnel were given letters of recommendation by J. Robert Oppenheimer himself. Others received original orders in the case of military or letters offering employment on the Project in the case of civilians. A few of our members have been gracious enough to submit these various documents so that they may be viewed by our visitors. If you have such a document in your possession, we would be honored to have it submitted for inclusion here. The development of the atomic bomb was voted as the top news story of the 20th century by USA Today. You can memorialize someone's participation here. Please "click" on the Document # to view the Document. Some of these images are in color and are quite large, even though they have been optimized. We ask your patience in viewing them. |
