#HonorTheWASP Over Memorial Day Weekend

WAI Urges Everyone To Visit And Decorate A WASP Gravesite From May 24-27, 2019

May 15, 2019 – Women in Aviation International members and friends will #HonorTheWASP over Memorial Day weekend by visiting their graves and leaving an appropriate decoration in the form of flowers or other remembrances.

“For individuals and families – and even companies – looking for a meaningful way to observe Memorial Day, #HonorTheWASP provides a way to do that,” says WAI President Dr. Peggy Chabrian. “Visiting and decorating a WASP gravesite is a history lesson, a way to honor these pioneering pilots, and, for most, a moving and emotional experience.”

You don’t have to be a WAI member to #HonorTheWASP. A database of WASP gravesites, including Google maps to their locations, may be found here. The original database was provided by Texas Woman’s University, the repository of the Women Airforce Service Pilots Archive, and augmented through research efforts of WAI staff.

Participants are asked to photograph the decorated grave along with information on who and where and tweet it all using the hashtag #HonorTheWASP. WAI will retweet all posts to its nearly 15,000 Twitter followers.

"We have a group of WAI members who will #HonorTheWASP who are buried at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as a young woman who will #HonorTheWASP who were buried at sea,” adds Dr. Chabrian. “And since we are an international organization, we encourage anyone outside the United States to honor their own country’s women aviation military heroes.”
