Totally cool
WASP Float in Rose Parade
The
WASP (Women's Air Force Service Pilots) will be honored with a float in
the New Year's Day Rose Parade tomorrow. Eight WASP plan to be present
on the float. (Photo credit- CBS)
"They're all about 90
years old, but they're coming and they're saying, 'Give me a blanket
and hot coffee, and we'll be fine,' " said Kate Landdeck, vice president
of the nonprofit Wingtip-to-Wingtip Assn., which is sponsoring the
float. (LA Times)
The theme for this 125th Rose Parade is "Dreams Come True." The WASP certainly fit this- doing whatever they needed to do to follow their passion of flying and serving their country. For many years these unsung heroes were forgotten, receiving military status and awards decades later.

We hope that you will be one of the millions of people watching as these amazing women ride in style.
