Since this is the 31st, Sweetwater Reporters article is a little(week) behind. As I've said in the past GOD BLESS THESE WOMEN,(alive and deceases). They have been in my heart, in my soul and on my mind 'all' my life, even though I've never met a one of them. And yes Congress is voting on giving them The Congressional-Medal-Of-Honor, which they definately deserve!!!

Mr. Bob Gasche is almost correct. The unit was called Women's Army Service Pilots(W.A.S.P.'S). They did get Air Force blue uniforms eventually, and since the Government did 'not' let women serve on the front lines or in actual combat, they did a great service to support the men, ferrying planes over 60 million miles, and dragging practice drones for the men to target practice at with 'live' ammo. If any of you people read/see this, there is A Museum at Avenger Field, Sweetwater,Texas everyone should visit. Again GOD bless these women!!
