Mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days in which to revise and extend their marks and include extraneous material on the subject of my special order. The speaker pro tempore without objection. Ms. Mcsally mr. Speaker, i rise today to talk about a very special group of women that were mentors to me and pioneering high are here are heroes for our pioneering heroes for our country. These women were the Women Air Force service pilot, the wasps. Some people dont know much about them. But heres a picture of them. Flying airplanes in the world war ii era. When we needed everybody to serve in whatever capacity they could in our country, they needed women to step up and become pilots, to do all sorts of different missions, like towing targets for the gunners on the ground, to learn how to shoot things down, like training men to go on to fly in combat. Like ferrying airplanes all over the theaters to deliver them to where they needed to be in the combat zone and bringing them back for maintenance. Test pilots, engineers, you name it. These women were asked to step up and serve. They went through training, they put on the uniform. They lived in the barracks. They learned how to march. And they were pie march. They were pie and they were pioneering for pioneers for women like me who later on served in the military. These women, there were a little over 1,000 of them who served in world war ii, they werent given active duty status. Although that was the intent of general arnold when they set up this program. But if you think back then, the thought of having women military pilots was a little bit of a cultural hangup, right . Well, well let women be rosie the rive ter and well let women serve in support positions, but pilots, now, thats kind of crazy talk, right . We had a little bit of a problem culturally. But they didnt care. They chose to serve anyway. They said, im going to step up and serve my country and im going to do that as a pilot and im going to do this with honor and with valor, just like their male counterparts did in these very same missions before them, alongside them and then after them. 38 of them died in training or in conducting missions. 38 of them gave their ultimate sacrifice. They werent even given Veterans Benefits or any benefits after perishing in the line of dutyy. But they still continued to serve because their country needed them. It wasnt until 1977 that they were actually given veterans status, after the fact. They were then given honorable discharges. They were given the medals that their male counterparts got for serving active duty empty military. And they were allowed to be buried with honors in veterans cemeteries across the country and given full military honors that they deserved. They actually were allowed, as they should be allowed, to be in hallerington cemetery, alongside other heroes who have gone before them. And we just found out within the last few weeks that that has been rescinded by the department of the army. That that happened quietly back in march of 2015, that these heroes who deserve to be recognized and deserve to be a legacy in Arlington Cemetery, so that future generations will know what they did and the door that they opened and the way they served, that was resinleded by the army. We didnt know about this until Elaine Harman, one of the wasps, passed away and i saw her handwritten will, i met with her family last week. It says, i desire to be in Arlington National cemetery, i want my ashes there. They put in the request like everybody else does. And they were denied. And we now found out that the army has rescinded that and is no longer allowing these pioneering women to be laid to rest in arlington. Elaine harmans ashes are sitting on a shelf in the closet of her granddaughters home, awaiting her final resting place in arlington, where she deserves. And the army gives us some bureaucratic answer about, oh, theyre running out of space and by mistake they opened it up. In 2002, they actually allowed women to be in arlington. And only two women actually took advantage of this and have asked to be on arlington. And they they turned around and rescinded it. And again they give some bureaucratic answer. Theyre on the wrong side of this. And weve looked into all the legalities. The army has all of the authority that they need to allow these heroes to be laid to rest in arlington. But theyre choosing not to do so. So weve introduced legislation and were going to make sure that it happens. But were calling on them to actually change it tonight. The secretary of the army, right now, or the secretary of defense or the president could tonight say, you know what, Elaine Harman and the other wasps, theres only a little over 100 that are still living, theyre going to be allowed to be have their ashes in Arlington National cemetery alongside other heroes. This is the least they could do and they could do it tonight. So im leading this special order tonight, and this is a bipartisan special order, this is bipartisan legislation, and its also bicameral. We have we had, when we raised awareness on this issue and got the legislation to get, we had nearly 80 sponsors right away on this bill. Saying, lets change this thing. Today, the Senate Introduced a similar bill and were going to Work Together to get this thing done. But we want to continue to raise awareness to it, this issue, this egregious violation towards these women. And we want this thing changed now. It takes a little bit of time sometimes around here to work through legislation. And in the meantime, Elaine Harmans ashes are sitting in a closet. Thats not the way that we treat our heroes. That is not the way we treat our pioneers who paved the way for military aviators like me to be able to serve in the way we did it. Needs to be changed tonight. So weve got a number of individuals here on both sides of the aisle that are going to be sharing this time with me tonight and i first want to yield some time to my good friend and colleague from california who is the lead democrat cosponsor of this bill, susan davis. Mrs. Davis thank you so much. Im so glad that my colleague from arizona is here to speak to this. Shes very uniquely qualified to do that. As one of the first women pilots, or the first, to actually fly in combat. And so as i remember, the women who joined us, who were part of the wasps a few years ago here in the capitol, they were here to receive gold medals for their heroic acts during the war and for really coming forward and being part of that volunteer band of women who had had some experience in flying, but could not have imagined in their wildest dreams doing what they were asked to do, but they were delighted to do it. And as ill share, they actually wanted to do more. But there were some other people that took over and asked them to go home and enjoy their lives after they had given so much. So, im just delighted to join in this earth and to right this injustice effort and to right this injustice for military trail blazers who were truly ahead of their timement time. When the call came to serve in world war ii, the wasps answered. They answered that call, just like millions of other americans. And logged over 60 million miles and over 12,000 aircraft. As my colleagues have said, 38 wasps women died serve their country. In 2009, as i mentioned, the wasps were awarded the congressional gold medal for flying military missions in world war ii. Even when they were here, they were just a strong group of women who delighted in seeing one another and reminding themselves of the Amazing Stories that they brought. And more than anything else, they served today as great role models to women who were considering going in the air force, of course, the navy, flying for our country. But also taking on some remarkable challenges in their lives. They really represent that for all of us. They fought, of course, and they died in service to their country. And they trained in military style. They slept on metal cots like everybody else, marched and lived under military discipline. And thats why we feel they deserve the full honors that we give our war heroes. As its been mentioned, they were given those honors. But because we have a problem, a problem of space, it was decided that perhaps they were not at the top of the list. Well, we need to be sure that we provide for everyone who needs to be there. There are many wasps who may not choose necessarily to be at armington cemetery. , for those who have chosen working with their families and their families have fought hard for them, this is something that we need to do. I want to mention particularly, i thought this was really fun to read, one of the articles about these wasps. This is edie who is saying, i thought it was the nastiest thing that they, speaking of the Army Air Force officials, could have done to us. She was receiving visitors at her home. They fired us. They actually gave our jobs to air force men who didnt want to go oversales. I would have gone overseas in a minute, she says. I was a
