🚨💪A RIVETING Story: During a time when women's rights are under constant attack from Republicans, a group of "Rosie the Riveters" were finally honored in Washington, DC for their contributions to the World War II effort. The group of 27 women, ranging in age from the 90s up to 106 years old, were recipients of America's highest civilian honor from Congress — the Congressional Gold Medal. Rosie the Riveter became a symbol of patriotism as women worked to fill positions in factories and shipyards that were left vacant when male workers were shipped off to war. The recognition of the award ceremony was a long time coming, but it appears that the ball is finally rolling as March 21 was recently recognized by Congress as national Rosie the Riveter Day. There is a push underway to make it a federal holiday. "Up until 1941, it was a man's world. They didn't know how capable us women were, did they?" said 98-year old Mae Krier. "Remember these four little words: We can do it!"
@ReallyAmerican1 @mmpadellan That seems odd... they helped save America and the Constitution and yet you thank them.
@ReallyAmerican1 Awesome story. We need more of these. 🙏❤️
@ReallyAmerican1 The LGTQ+ community has a whole month, and these women don't even have a day... Look how far we've come... We don't even know what a woman is anymore!
@ReallyAmerican1 The best thing congress has done in years.
