After decades of limited acknowledgment, the reunion was an opportunity for former WASPs to reconnect, reflect on their service, and celebrate the recognition they deserved. The Charleston reunion, which took place in South Carolina, was particularly meaningful because it occurred during a period when the WASP program was gaining more public recognition. In 1977, after much lobbying, WASPs were finally granted military veteran status, which included military honors and benefits for their service. This recognition came after over three decades of being overlooked despite their substantial contributions to the war effort. (Open to reasonable offers)
