  • 38 WASP and trainees were killed flying for their Country.  They received no recognition, no honors, no benefits, no gold star in the window, and no American flag allowed to cover their coffins.
  • After they were disbanded in 1944, their records were sealed and marked 'classified' or 'secret' and stored in the archives for over 30 years.
  • They were denied Veteran's status for 35 years and their medals and official notification of Veteran's status came in the mail.
  • WASP can only be buried at Arlington National Cemetery as 'enlisted', not with officer's honors.
  • Despite General Hap Arnold's pledge that the Air Force 'would never forget them'--it did, and so did America.
