We certainly are seeing many, many posthumous awards nowadays, CW5 Jack Cardwell. Better late than never I suppose.
Here’s a piggy back comment for your thread. It was the U.S. Army Signal Corps that purchased the first airplane for any military! It was purchased from the Wright Brothers in 1909! Lt Col Charlie Brown SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth PO1 William "Chip" Nagel

LTC Stephen C.
SGT James Murphy, it’s occurring with ever increasing frequency as best I can tell. Also, I don’t disagree with your sentiment and at first, I felt as you did.
However, I think there’s more to these acts than just giving recognition long overdue. I believe our government has recognized that the majority of the population knows little or nothing about the armed services, and they’re trying to keep the services in the public eye in a good way. It’s sheer speculation, of course, but it may be a type of PR move.

LTC Stephen C. ggod point. And these wars are done so arguing about the right/wrong of them is a waste of time for the average person.

A little late for the ladies from that group, but still a great thing to be done for them. Something their relatives can be proud of.

CW5 Jack Cardwell, here’s a question for you, perhaps rhetorical. If the women took the Army oath, were ranked and eventually granted veteran status, why wouldn’t they receive a military award? (I’m aware of the precedent set by Obama with the WASPS.)
