WASP awarded Congressional Gold Medal for service

President Barack Obama chats with WASP pilots Elaine Harmon (left) and Lorraine Rodgers in the Oval Office after signing S.614, a bill to award a Congressional Gold Medal to Women Airforce Service Pilots July 1 at the White House. The WASP program was established during World War II, and from 1942 to 1943, more than 1,000 women joined, flying 60 million miles of noncombat military missions. Of the women who received their wings as Women Airforce Service Pilots, approximately 300 are living today. (Official White House photo/Pete Souza)
