Stephanie joined the Women’s Army Corps towards the end of World War II and was soon selected for service in the Office of Strategic Services due to her knowledge of Polish culture. She was one of two OSS agents working out of the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw and traveled the country under the guise of finding family members in the aftermath of World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephanie_Rader

SGT John " Mac " McConnell This is great but it's too bad it's taken so long for this to happen.

Capt (Join to see) - I can't agree more. So often these awards were delayed because of the person's gender, race, or creed.

That was a good story SGT John " Mac " McConnell. It is a shame that people were often discriminated against by race, religion, color, sexual orientation, gender, whatever! It should not have happened. I am really getting tired about hearing about a Congressional Gold Medal though. This woman was in the Army; it seems to me her award should be an Army of DOD award. A Legion of Merit while a nice honor should be upgraded to something higher. I believe the time she was operating was still wartime and if her deeds were heroic and valorous, than something along those lines. I hope her family gets what she deserved all these years ago.
