About RockyFlatsFacts.com

I began this blog primarily to share a book I’ve written about the Rocky Flats Plant in Colorado.  I watched the reputation of the site decay from the early days when it was  thought to be an important part of national defense to be considered a blight.  I watched the workers at the site strive to do everything in their power to safely and responsibly complete the mission assigned by our nation’s leaders in compliance with all laws.  Our neighbors were reading and watching stories that gave a very different impression.

I’ve always been interested in history, and this blog is dedicated to expanding awareness of why the nation believed Rocky Flats was necessary to maintain its freedom.  Many of the reviews I intend to post are about the threats that existed when the decisions were made that the plant needed and continued to operate through the Cold War.  Some of the content will also deal with other history and historical figures.

I welcome your comments.  I know there are many divergent views, and I hope we can learn from each other in a constructive and civil manner.
