“FLY GIRLS OF W
TER MAR
ORLD WAR II” opening at
CH, 2009
the Women’s Memorial, Nov. 14, 2008.
Attended by WASP, family, friends, Generals,
Master Sergeants, Colonels, and retired
everything. John Truesdell, former Deputy
Undersecretary of the Air Force for Reserve
Affairs and his wife, Diane, came, as did
Brig. Gen Linda McTague and other familiar
Air Force faces.
The opening ceremonies included
speeches by Brig. Gen. Wilma
Vaught (Pres. of WIMSA
Foundation), Nancy Parrish
(creator/designer of Fly Girls),
Cokie Roberts (with her mom,
former Ambassador and
Congresswoman Lindy Boggs, who
helped the WASP receive veteran
status in 1977), and Major Nicole
Malachowski, the first female
Thunderbird pilot. The most special
speakers were the WASP
themselves, each given a chance at
the mic--they charmed us all.
