  • Congressional Gold Medals: Background, Legislative Process, and Issues for Congress
    Congressional Gold Medals: Background, Legislative Process, and Issues for Congress Updated April 8, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45101 Congressional Gold Medals: Background, Legislative Process, and Issues for Congress Summary Senators and Representatives are frequently asked to support or sponsor proposals recognizing historic events and outstanding achievements by individuals or institutions. Among the various forms of recognition that Congress bestows, the Congressional Gold Medal is often considered the most distinguished. Through this venerable tradition—the occasional commissioning of individually struck gold medals in its name—Congress has expressed public gratitude on behalf of the nation for distinguished contributions for more than two centuries. Since 1776, this award, which initially was bestowed on military leaders, has also been given to such diverse individuals as Sir Winston Churchill and Bob Hope, George Washington and Robert Frost, Joe Louis and Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Congressional gold medal legislation generally has a specific format. Once a gold medal is authorized, it follows a specified process for design, minting, and presentation. This process includes consultation and recommendations by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Commission (CCAC) and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), pursuant to any statutory instructions, before the Secretary of the Treasury makes the final decision on a gold medal’s design. Once the medal has been struck, a ceremony will often be scheduled to formally award the medal to the recipient. In recent years, the number of gold medals awarded has increased, and some have expressed interest in examining the gold medal authorization and awarding process. Should Congress want to make such changes, several individual and institutional options might be available.

  • Flying in Formation: Creating a Place for Women in Avation Through the Ninety-Nines, the Wasp, and the Whirly-Girls
    ABSTRACT FLYING IN FORMATION: CREATING A PLACE FOR WOMEN IN AVATION THROUGH THE NINETY-NINES, THE WASP, AND THE WHIRLY-GIRLS By Katherine S. Gray During the twentieth century, women’s aviation organizations created a place for women to share experiences and advice, pool their financial resources, and push for additional opportunities for women in aviation. Between 1929 and 1955, three organizations formed to serve these ends, including the Ninety-Nines (99s), the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), and the Whirly-Girls. With the help of dynamic leaders like Amelia Earhart, Jacqueline Cochran, and Jean Ross Howard Phelan and loyal members like Dr. Dora Dougherty Strother and Marty Martin Wyall, these organizations developed both the popularity and the resilience to maintain their numbers and continue their activities into the twenty-first century. Because of the bonds of camaraderie formed through individual relationships and group influence, the unity created by unique women’s aviation dress and flying songs, and collective resistance to sex-based discrimination, women used aviation organizations to construct their own culture to meet the needs of women pilots.

The inspiration for attempting this occurred several years earlier when a colleague informed me of letters written by former students serving in the military during World War II to Dr. Lauren Post (right), a popular geography professor and football coach. Post’s brainchild was a newsletter, the only one of its kind in the nation, that was distributed worldwide and kept this group of alumni in contact with one another and with those left behind on the homefront. It is the often poignant, deliberately understated experiences told in the letters by young men and women, many of whom soon perished, that demands a retelling to this and future generations. Early in the project, I began to investigate the lives of a few of the fallen heroes listed on the university’s war monument in order to have some examples to cite in an essay, but as I looked closely at the abbreviated life of one deceased person after another the more I was fascinated with each of them as individuals.
