The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Army Engineer Association honored the contributions and careers of three former USACE leaders, including a renowned military leader of the nation’s early atomic program, in an Aug. 7 ceremony during the annual Engineer Castle Ball in Alexandria, Virginia. Lt. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, an Army engineer officer who commanded the Manhattan Project during World War II, posthumously received the Gold de Fleury Medal, the highest award for professional excellence in the Engineer Regiment. Groves’ grandson, Richard (Dick) Groves, accepted the award on behalf of his late grandfather and highlighted the remarkable nature of overseeing the entire Manhattan Project, a 600,000-person enterprise, from an ordinary two-room office in Washington.
