I found this article in my newspaper yesterday. At the Smithsonian I saw a display of Rosie. A real part of our history. Shows women can get the job done when need be. Makes me wonder what would of happened had they not pulled up the slack. :eusa_clap
I like to think American still has stock from these kind of ladies. lol

Neat Article! That lady is fantastic...

I like that quote: "We weren't women's libbers," says Carter, founder and executive director of the 3,000-member American Rosie the Riveter Association. "We just wanted to get the boys back home so we could marry them. A lot of us did it because we thought the country was worth fighting for."

Hahaha I love it. The honestly makes my day. And that's really how I feel some days when I am asked about going through Paul being In Japan. But shhh that's a secret. But I do think that my country is worth the sacrafice.

Well, Thank your...boyfriend?...for his Sacrifices for the country for me!

Great story!! They have lots of Rosie the Riveter stuff you can get at the WWII Museum in New Orleans. I have a T-shirt with the "We Can Do It" poster on it. Love it!

Here's a link to their store, don't know why they don't have more on it:

I thought this girl looked really cute in her Rosie outfit. Now I want to get a plaid shirt to wear over my coveralls! And she had her pants rolled up with red socks and brown lace up loafers

Texasgirl - What was going on at the stockyards this weekend?

texasgirl · Nov 10, 2009

It's actually Waxahachie. They did a big WWII Weekend.

Lenore · Nov 10, 2009

Wow.. totally fooled me. Looking good Waxahachie! Sorry I missed it! I never go anywhere fun anymore...

And as previously mentioned... I <3 your hat!

The outfit looks great & very much like Rosie the Riveter.

My niece's school recently had superhero day, they were to dress up, obviously, as their favorite superhero. She went as Rosie.
