World War II Ghost Army recevies Congressional Gold Medal
Members of the United States World War II “Ghost Army” receive the Congressional Gold Medal in a ceremony at the Capitol in Washington, DC, March 21, 2024. Its existence secret until declassified in 1996, the Ghost Army used inflatable tanks, sound effects, and other fake equipment to lure the German Army away from Allied troops, saving thousands of lives. The Gold Medal is Congress’ highest honor. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
