My mom was a welder on LST's, then went to work at Oak Ridge on The Manhattan Project. They found that the women were better at welding the brackets near the delicate hydraulic lines on the landing craft. At 5'2", she had a helper who carried her tools and put out the little fires that the sparks started on her apron..big old Cherokee guy named Hank. Once, while we were in Cedar Key, FL, I found her at the dock talking to some navy welders who docked for a festival. There she was, discussing technique with these big ole sailors! They were asking her all about her WWII experience, bless them.

[@StephBer1]

What a lovely story. I'm sure she loved the work and the freedom it gave her. No wonder you are so proud of her. They were a fascinating generation.

[@redneck3080]

My great granddaddy was a Paratrooper in WWII. (82nd AA). His daughter, my grandmother worked in factories to help the war effort in nam, when my granddaddy (my dads dad) was fightin in the Air Force. God bless these women who helped our country through the hardest of times. Without them we wouldent be the superpower we are today. ,

[@everythingellie9228]

My granny and great aunt also worked at Oak Ridge during that time! These amazing women who came before us were truly amazing! My grandpa was in Nagasaki, my father in Korea, and my hubby has been a Marine for almost 25 years now. 💗

My hat's off to all the Rosie's and all the women who worked at home while "The Boys" were off to war!! My father was a paratrooper near the end of WWII and Thank God there were Rosie's who made sure that the airplanes being made would stand the test of time. I am a disabled Viet Nam Vet and during our war we had "Donut Dollies who traveled around the country passing out coffee and donuts to the troops, and the women workers with the USO's and real women nurses. Every war has had women in the Homefront helping with any cause that we have fought in ever since the Revolutionary War to todays military now as fighters right along with their male counterparts. To tell the truth some of the women who serve in todays branches of service are better than some of the men!! Just Sayin'!!

Dr. Frances Carter, we all can agree that your parents are definitely proud of you, the work you’ve done, and the remarkable Lady you became. God Bless all our Rosie’s and all women that pitched in during a crisis and paved the way for future generations of women in so many ways. I hope I’m as sharp at 67 as you are at 97. I could sit and listen to you tell stories all day long! (PS: I’m drooling over those black retro(?) shoes in the portrayal clip!)

My mom was a Rosie! She worked in a factory making parachutes for the soldiers. She said they were made out of silk.

[@marlenestclair]

@Xxx Xxx I remember her telling me that too! They didn't have silk for their stockings. So they would take an eyebrow pencil and draw a line up on the back of each leg to make it look like they were wearing "hose" as she called it!

Oddly, the thing that stood out most was the pants comment. I remember my mother telling me she wasn't allowed to wear pants to school until high school, and even then it had to be dress pants. The way high school students dress today would give teachers of her day an absolute conniption.

What a sweet story. I’m not surprised the founder is from AL - of course she’s southern. Those women weren’t feminists, not in today’s ugly definition. They were sacrificing to get their boys back home safe and displaying patriotism. That’s what Love is all about. God Bless Them All. Yes, Dr. Carter, your mama and daddy are very proud of you. Love the red fingernails and lipstick on all the ladies. And the bright clothing, love it! Hey maybe y'all will start a new fashion trend. My grandmother ALWAYS wore lipstick while during yard work even in the most sweltering summers. My other grandmother was a Rosie and help build many airplanes.
