Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley speaks to a huge crowd of World War II Women Airforce Service Pilots 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 of Representatives 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.
