Another Legend Gone

[CudaChick1968]

Raise your glass and join me in a somber toast.

An icon of American manufacturing and the war effort has sadly passed away at the age of 95.

Rest in Peace to the real Rosie The Riveter. You will never be forgotten.

R.I.P. Rosie

 

[Stephen Hotz]

RIP. Nice long life.

 

[Islandkent]

Yes she seen it all. RIP Rosie.

 

[Richard Cranium]

RIP Rosie, but I do have an issue with one line in the article...

A word bubble saying “We Can Do It!” frequently floated from Rosie’s mouth in those propaganda posters.

I would say that the posters were motivational, not propaganda.

R.I.P.

R.I.P. Ms.Walter, Truly a celebrated Member of "The Greatest Generation" ! I'm still happy to say that My Mom, Rose Marie, who spent the war years working at Curtiss Wright, as a Riveter, is still "Up & Running", at 96.

 

[WileE]

R.I.P. to her, and all the American patriots of the era. A testament that America's Greatest Generation included men AND women !

Sad to here but correctly we should celebrate her life as a true icon of our times not the Hollywood phonies the world loves to put on a pedestals. She was real life hero along with all who serve and give the ultimate sacrifice for us so we are able to have what we have by Gods grace. This is what we all need to keep teaching to our grandchildren and children so they what it took and what it takes to keep what we have been blessed with by the God who made us and all things not this junk they pawn off as education in our society today.I pray for her family as they go through the loss of a loved one.

a life well lived, R.I.P.

 

[Hey-O]

RIP, Thanks for a job well done!!

She was 16 when the war started. Just shows how desperate we were for help in the factories.

RIP.

Back when Men were Men, and Women were Women, and you could differentiate between the two!

I 100% agree... RIP Rosie!

 

[Jerry Hall]

She was 16 when the war started. Just shows how desperate we were for help in the factories.

RIP.

We couldn't have won the war it were not for the women stepping up and doing jobs that were thought to be "mens" jobs in that time. I think it was patriotism, love of country and we as a united people that made us what we are. It's not just America, it's the United States of America.
R.I.P. Rosie's and to God be the glory for a life well lived.

 

[Fran Blacker]

Your time to take over for her.

R.I.P. to an American Home Front Hero

 

[Budnicks]

RIP Rosie, you certainly earned

In honor of 'Rosie' let's hope we may be able to come together, if need be one day, like our parents and grandparents did to defeat pure evil as they were able to accomplish at great sacrifice. They endured a tough life during the depression and then pivoted to a world war, for those who were lucky to return from the battlefields, to experience an incredible boom in America. We weren't regarded as a world power until we were victorious. Many thanks Rosie for your contributions!
