Glad to see them get the Congressional Gold Medal finally. I think it's a long overdue honor. Dorothy Olsen lives not too far from my coffee shop.

From Seattle Times:

They were mavericks of their day, taking to the skies when the nation was at war and most women were at home caring for families. At a ceremony this spring, 11 Washington women will join the 200-some surviving Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) in receiving Congressional Gold Medals for service during World War II.
