There is a race that is still on, It will cook all food no more raw , the death of death we have always had wars and always there were survivers. but with thermo nuke war there will be no more births and no more deaths the Death of Death rhb Anthony Guarisco of the US Speaks for Atomic Veterans Greetings: My name is Anthony Guarisco ; I'm the director of the Alliance of Atomic Veterans (AAV). On behalf of our AAV members, we thank you for the opportunity to speak here today, and we extend our gratitude to the many people who have worked to make this conference a reality. Our Alliance consists mainly of US military veterans who, while serving in the military, were ordered to take part in the US military's experimental nuclear weapons explosions. The US military tells us that from 1945 - 63 three hundred thousand American troops were dire ctly involved in the US nuclear explosion program. That would include 40,000 troops who were ordered into Hiroshima and Nagasaki to do clean up work in the aftermath of the unnecessary atomic attacks on the innocent men, women and children of those two cit ies. It was 1945 when the US military exploded two atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Our alliance and many other veterans in America believe that the people of those two cities became the first Nuclear Weapons Experimental Animals for the US milit ary. Those of us who were in the Pacific at that time were told and understood that when the Island of Okinawa fell to the Americans (and it did, June 1945) the war would be over. But that is another story for another time. Although the American atomic ve terans did not experience the nuclear weapons holocaust as did our brother and sister Hibakusha of Japan, many of our vets were within very close range of nuclear explosions. The military insisted on moving us closer and closer to the epicenter of the expl osions. By August 1946 the decision had been made to use US troops at this first naval nuclear explosions code named "Operation Crossroads." After the second bomb, code name Baker (an underwater explosion), the operation was completely out of control and w as quickly and frantically closed down. Many years later, in 1983, one of our AAV members, a researcher, uncovered the one - time secret and top secret documents, now declassified, that explained why the operation was stopped before the third and last exper imental explosion. In every respect the atomic vets were the sacrificial lambs, laid on the altar of the atomic age for the development of the larger and deadlier nuclear weapons that now hold each of us hostage. We never thought the military would put us in harm's way, but we were wrong about that. We can never forget the clear but unbelievable demonstration of what World War III would look like. Not many people other than the Japanese Hibakusha or other atomic veterans can understand what it would be lik e to be two miles away from a 24 kiloton explosion.
