Dennis Enloe

So sorry for your loss.

A good man, a good friend, a good husband and father to his family. RIP my friend.

Our hearts, prayers and love are with you all. Dennis was deeply loved and he is greatly missed. May you feel Gods love, comfort and presence daily.

Dennis shared this incident with me many years ago. He was the person who answered the phone to abort the mission. 3. The 1979 NORAD Computer Glitch https://www.history.com/news/5-cold-war-close-calls You literally saved us all. Your mission is now complete. Rest in Peace SNFU......FUBAR By the late 1970s, both the United States and the Soviets relied on computer systems to detect possible nuclear attacks. But while the new technology was more sophisticated, it also came with a fresh set of risks in the form of false alarms and glitches. Perhaps the most famous of these errors occurred at Colorado’s North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD. On the morning of November 9, 1979, technicians at the site received an urgent alert that the Soviets had launched a barrage of missiles at North America. Convinced a nuclear attack was imminent, the U.S. air defense program scrambled 10 interceptor fighter planes, ordered the president’s “doomsday plane” to take off, and warned launch control to prepare its missiles for a retaliatory attack. The panic soon subsided after NORAD consulted its satellite data and realized the nuclear warning was little more than a false alarm. Upon further inspection, they discovered that a technician had accidentally run a training program simulating a Soviet attack on the United States. The incident sent shock waves through the international community—Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev even wrote President Jimmy Carter a letter noting the “tremendous danger” caused by the error—but it was not the last time a computer issue led to a nuclear scare. Computer chip failures would later lead to three more false alarms at NORAD in the following year.

Dear Julie & girls, What a lovely thing to do in honor of a lovely person! I enjoyed Dennis & his uplifting spirit so much. With continued prayer.
