"WWII 'Ghost Army' Members Honored with Congressional Gold Medal for Secret Battlefield Deceptions"

The American military units known as the Ghost Army, who used inflatable tanks, trucks, and planes along with sound effects and acting to deceive the enemy during World War II, are being honored with the Congressional Gold Medal. Three surviving members, including 100-year-old Seymour Nussenbaum, are set to attend the ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. The Ghost Army's missions likely saved thousands of American lives and their story was brought to light by filmmaker Rick Beyer after their mission was declassified in 1996.
