Last month, during ceremonies at the U.S. Capitol, Ghost Army veterans at long last were recognized for their contributions to victory with a Congressional Gold Medal.
Only seven members of the Ghost Army are known to survive, and only three of those attended the ceremonies. Most Ghost Army veterans were honored posthumously. Among the latter was New Mexico native Abelicio Baca Barela.
