Does this mean that everyother pilot that served during WW2 is going to get a fancy medal?

Women being fighters is nothing new nor special.

How does one earn a congressional medal for a military position without even fighting the enemy?
Just wondering. Cheers to their service.

Or maybe they played a key logistics role in a serious global conflict at great personal risk?
Planes in those days had this irritating tendency to fall out of the sky, especially on those long intercontinental trips.
I knew we'd see some partisan nonsense in even this thread.

These women spent their own money to learn to flay then preformed a valuable service freeing up men to do the fighting.
These women along with all the countless Rosie The Riveters and even the women who kept the home fires burning did a great service to their country.
I had the privilege of working with a Rosie The Riveter in aircraft manufacturing for a short time. She was a small woman who worked rings around some guys.
I think this recognition is long over do for these wonderful Americans.
:applaud
