One of the projects I am proud to say that I helped work on while I was in the Senate last year!

An impressive history...sorry I can't make it to the ceremony tomorrow...

Congratulations for a late but well-deserved recognition.

Congratulations to all, it's to bad that some of the women did not live to recieve the medal.

The WASPs trained here in Sweetwater, Texas (about half way between Abilene and Midland where the Commemorative Air Force is located) and hold their reunions just north of Dallas in Denton - their official archives are held in the library of the Texas Womans University - I've met a couple of them and they're awesome.

I think that is absolutely awesome and a well deserved award albeit a bit late. Big Kudos to those who helped make that happen.
