Elissa Slotkin Instagram – Did you know that the symbolism of Rosie the Riveter originated at the Willow Run Aircraft Factory in Ypsilanti? It’s no surprise that hardworking women in Michigan were among the first to roll up their sleeves and serve their country.
Today’s Congressional Gold Medal ceremony honoring Rosie the Riveters was long overdue, and I encourage everyone to take time to listen to Mae Krier, an “OG” Rosie who helped produce B-17s and B-29s for the war effort from 1943 to 1945. | Posted on 11/Apr/2024 03:31:12
