This site is called trinity site, this site is opens twice a year, once in April and October. On July 16,1945 WSMR, NM at trinity site was the first testing location for the atomic bomb. White Missile Range is also where I lived for most of my life.

White Sands Missile Range is where I lived for most of my life. The house that I lived in was a three bedroom and two bath house. My parents were not in the military, however my dad was an employee at White Sands Missile Range.

I attended White Sands Elementary and Middle School when I lived at the White Sands Missile Range. There was not a lot to do out at WSMR when I lived there. There still is not too many things to do on post. The one thing I loved to do was run track.

Running track was my the one thing that I loved to do. It also kept me out of trouble. Besides going to school and living at home running track is the one place where you could find me. Track was my outlet--this round oval shaped sphere is how I stayed dedicated, disciplined and determined to become the person I am today.
