    Congratulations to each of you “Rosie the Riveters”!! It’s about time you ladies are being recognized for the critical contributions you made to the war effort by working in the factories at home to ensure our military had the airplanes necessary for American airmen and women to fight the Nazis during World War Two. As “Rosie the Riveters” you not only proved women could do the job every bit as good as the men; YOU DID IT!!!! Congratulations on finally receiving your Congressional Medals of Honor ladies!! God bless you all for your hard work and “Can Do” attitudes. Each one of you deserves this long overdue honor and your families and you should be very proud of the essential contributions each of you made in ensuring Victory for America and its Allies. A special “Thank You” to Gary Sinise and the Gary Sinise Foundation for making sure that the ”Rosies” were officially recognized and properly honored. ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤️

      @@janetprice85 WOW!!! You must be so proud of your family and their service to America during WWII. Their service and sacrifices are the reasons that the Allies won WWII and that you and I, along with millions of other people in the world, grew up free. My Dad landed on Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion and he and his Division fought their way up the Beach through France and into Germany and survived to return home to America. My Mom was born and raised in The Netherlands. Her hometown was occupied by the Nazis and her family hid a Jewish friend from the Nazis until the Americans liberated their town. I think that we both come from families we can be proud of!! God bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    I live outside of Detroit, we had several plants, Ford Rouge, Willow Run, Detroit Glass Plant to name a few. They were HIGH risk target areas. My mother grew up on one of the streets that was next to the plant. They had to make black out curtains and the nights had to be quiet in case the enemy made it to the area and was under surveillance. These ladies have LONG deserved the recognition for what they did in service for the country.

    In the fall of 1939, President Roosevelt called for a production of 50,000 air planes a year. The rest of the world thought that was ridiculously impossible. It took us a little bit, but by 1942 we rolled out 46,907. In 1943 we produced 84,853 and 96,270 in 1944. That's just planes. It doesn't even begin to take into consideration the other military hardware, weapons, and ammunition produced. These "Rosies" were absolutely vital to the United States and to the Allies in World War II. Congratulations on finally receiving your recognition "Rosies."

    There were many Rosies. My grandmother,a 43 year old widow,of a farmer and Deputy Sheriff became a "Rosie the Riveter" when she saw how much her eldest daughter my 19 year old Aunt was making at it.Dad was the breadwinner after his father died at 45 unexpectedly then the WW2 started and Dad was in Europe. Quite the change for a homemaker but she loved it.

The work they did was incredible and the struggles they faced as women, especially those of color, remained making their contributions even more poignant. Thank you ladies, your legacies will continue to inspire American women forever. We will not forget you and your efforts on the homefront!
