Betty Wall Strohfus, a Women Airforce Service Pilot from Minnesota, sings the "Star-Spangled Banner" during the Congressional Gold Medal ceremony at the Capitol March 10, 2010. More than 200 WASPs attended the event, many of them wearing their World War II-era uniforms. The audience, which Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi noted was one of the largest ever in the Capitol and too large to fit into Emancipation Hall, also included their families, as well as the families of those who have since died or couldn't travel.
