HALYARD MISSION'S O.S.S. AGENTS FINALLY RECEIVE LONG OVERDUE AND WELL-DESERVED RECOGNITION AND HONOR! Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony in Washington D.C. March 2018

No such film has been made to date, which is a travesty in and of itself, but those of us who know the Halyard Mission story continue to hang on to the hope that this goal, too, will finally come to fruition. Then the whole world will know...
