World War II Ghost Army recevies Congressional Gold Medal
Sun streams through a skylight in the Capitol Visitor Center during a ceremony awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to the United States World War II “Ghost Army," 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)
