a reception in the Hall of Honor at the Memorial.
(This date is of some significance. On this day, 66 years ago, the first class arrived in Houston and gathered together at a hotel in downtown Houston. The next day, they 'reported in' at the Houston Municipal Airport, raised their right hands, took the 'Oath', and officially became WFTD trainees.)
WIMSA will be sending official invitations out to all the WASP.
This exhibit, which fills virtually the entire exhibit space of the memorial, will remain at the Memorial for a year,
providing perhaps the first real opportunity for all the nation's visitors to learn the story of the WASP. Link to Announcement
