Congressional Gold Medal Awarded

On February 1, 2022, President Biden signed The Ghost Army Congressional Gold Medal Act into law.

We celebrated this historic moment with a live program that brought together surviving Ghost Army veterans, family members, Senators, Representatives, and others. The Ghost Army Congressional Gold Medal Celebration
The Ghost Army used inflatable tanks, sound effects, and imagination to fool the Germans on the battlefields of Europe. The unsung heroes of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops and the 3133rd Signal Company Special saved thousands of lives and helped win the war, but their efforts were kept secret for fifty years and were only recently officially recognized with the Congresional Gold Medal . The mission of The Ghost Army Legacy Project is to preserve and honor the legacy of these men.
