Bill overview
This bill, the Hello Girls Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2021, seeks to honor the female telephone operators of the Army Signal Corps, often called the ‘Hello Girls,’ for their vital service during World War I. The bill recognizes their pioneering role as women in the military, their dedication to duty, and their decades-long fight for official recognition as soldiers and veterans’ benefits. It proposes awarding a Congressional Gold Medal to commemorate their contributions to the war effort and acknowledge the historical injustice they faced.
