Rosie, The Riveter During World War Two All around this Nation Women took up the Battle Beyond all imagination. Over six million of them Traded aprons for coveralls And answered like true Patriots When their Country calls. They worked in every industry To build the tools of War From guns and tanks and planes To ships and so much more. A key part of our Defense To free the Men so they could fight Showing they could do it all They worked the plants day and night. Could we have won without them? Some say it would have been tough And we never gave them credit Or at the least, not near enough. So many years have passed by With so many changes in our life Thanks to what all those Ladies did Who were Sister, Mother, Friend or Wife. Del "Abe" Jones |

You know Del, I am so pleased you posted this today. Just last week I went to have a closer look at our Lancaster bomber on display here, in a park. The elderly gentleman/vet explained to the crowds how all the rivets had been installed by women. I tell ya..it made me smile with pride. Thank you so much for this timely post. ~Hugs & Smiles, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |
