Oh, girls... Our beloved Rosie The Riveter passed away today at age 95. Godspeed to one of our greatest icons and inspirations! May God bless and rest her soul, and help all her loved ones through this most difficult time! Thank you, God, for sharing her with us!

I read the article yesterday and was really sad she is gone. What a incredibly patriotic young woman she was and she kept that going her entire life. She gave so much to PBS and educational programs, including Ken Burns programs. She was really amazing and will be sorely missed.

I saw this on the morning news. She was an inspiration to all.
Put your hair up in a bun, drink some coffee and handle it.

Oh this is sad. My dad was in world war two, was shot, taken to a German prison camp for 17 months and lost is right leg, then sent Home to Walter Reed hospital for another 17 months. Came home got married, had me. He died when I was 8. He never talked about the war, but I remember him telling me when I thought I couldn't do something, he would say is Rosie can you can. So she was a real hero during that time.

Hi Nini, I saw that on tv. Made me sad. Another great one from my favorite era is gone. A few years ago, my family threw me a surprise birthday party, and my very talented friend made me a Rosie the Riveter cake! She certainly lived a very long life! What an inspiring lady.
Farmgirl Hugs,
