WWII 'Ghost Army' soldiers receive Congressional Gold Medal
Some 1,100 World War II soldiers who served in the so-called "Ghost Army" received long overdue recognition at the U.S. Capitol. During the war, they belonged to units that specialized in trickery to outwit the Germans. Their methods included inflatable tanks, sound effects and phony radio transmissions. Thursday, three of the seven known surviving members accepted the Congressional Gold Medal.
