When the country needed every man,
She answered the call.
In March of 2010 The United States awarded the Congressional Gold Medal – the highest award that a civilian can receive from Congress – to nearly 300 women, all over the age of 86.
What is it that these women did to deserve
such a prestigious decoration?
“Wings of Silver: The Vi Cowden Story,” follows one
93-year-old woman’s journey from the Black Hills of South Dakota where she learned to fly biplanes, to flying fighter planes for the Army Air Corps in 1943 & ’44.
Vi was among these first women in United States history to fly military planes.
The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) were not only crucial to the war effort during World War II, they also changed the course of Women’s history.
Vi's reaction to the Birthday message from the audience at Port Townsend, WA
is just priceless!!
IT'S HERE!!

This project is a tribute to the men and women who fight and work and sacrifice so that we can live free and safe.
