ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

WASP were the FIRST women in America's history to fly American military aircraftWASP voluntarily put their lives 'on the line' in an experimental program to prove that women could successfully fly military aircraftIn less than 2 years, WASP flew 60 million miles in every type aircraft in the Army Air Force arsenal--from the fastest fighters to the heaviest bombersWASP flew every type mission any Army Air Force male pilot flew during World War II, except combat.WASP were stationed at 120 Army Air Bases across America.WASP were used as examples to fly B-26s and B-29s to prove to male pilots they were safe to fly.WASP freed male pilots for combatWASP are role models for today's female pilots and astronautsThey forever changed the role of women in aviation

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:

25,000 applied, 1,830 were accepted into training and only 1,074 earned their silver wings and, together with 28 WAFS, became WASP.

They paid their own way to go into training and, when disbanded, they paid their own way back home.

38 WASP and trainees were killed flying for their Country.  They received no recognition, no honors, no benefits, no gold star in the window, and no American flag allowed to cover their coffins.

Classmates & friends took up collections to help pay for burial.WASP never received the military status they were promised, even though many were sent to Officer's Training School.WASP were unceremoniously deactivated in 1944 without benefits and little thanks.After they were disbanded in 1944, their records were sealed and marked 'classified' or 'secret' and stored in the archives for over 30 years.Historians had no access to the records and accomplishments of the WASP...so, the WASP were left out of most official histories of WWII.They were denied Veteran's status for 35 yearsTheir medals and official notification of Veteran's status came in the mail.WASP can only be buried at Arlington National Cemetery as 'enlisted', not with officer's honors.In 1994, an airplane at Lackland AFB was dedicated to the WASP and, in 1999, was repainted in the "Korean conflict' colors and re-dedicated to a Korean war hero.Despite General Hap Arnold's pledge that the Air Force 'would never forget them'--it did, and so did America

FYI, I dont reccomend putting your full name anywhere on the internet, and in the top right hand corner we can all see your name. Also to answer this Question I reccomend going to Shmoop.com and looking up "The Hunger Games Chapter 21 Summary" or just going on Google and searching "Chapter 21 summary of The Hunger Games" and it'll be the first link to pop up. Remember to put it in your own word and source it, DO NOT write it word for word, because that would be Plagiarism; and Plagiarism is illegal.

25 POINTS FOR WHOEVER ANSWERS THIS CORRECTLY

<h2> Pt 1.</h2>

Sharing an apartment with a family member (or two) can be both a relief and a cause of stress. In the end, your experience living with a family roommate depends largely on the character of that family member and you. If you get along with the family member, you may find living with him or her much more comfortable than living with a stranger or even a friend. When you know and trust a family member who lives with you, you can be yourself around your roommate and you probably won’t have to worry about stolen items or finding out your roommate is a different person to live with than he or she is to hang out with. If you’re living with a sibling, a cousin or even a parent, it’s easy to fall into the habit of falling behind in your payments. After all, “families stick together,” so some irresponsible apartment dwellers might believe their family roommate can cover a “month or two” of rent payment, which turns into a few months more. Too afraid to cause family drama, the responsible roommate let him or herself be taken advantage of.

<h2>Pt 2.</h2>

Strong and positive family relationships are enjoyable for their own sake – it just feels good to be part of a warm and loving family.

But positive family relationships are important for lots of other reasons too.  They:

  • help children feel secure and loved, which gives them confidence to explore their world, try new things and learn
  • make it easier for your family to solve problems, resolve conflict and respect differences of opinion
  • give children the skills they need to build healthy relationships of their own.

I will put the rest in the comments since there is a typing limit, but I hope this helps and I always appreciate Brainliest! ;)
