My MOM is 86 years old. Her memory is failing and words don't come out like she wants at times. She told me how proud she was of all the young men that fought in WWII. I AM PROUD OF HER. She worked long hours at a factory that made wheels for planes.Yes, she is a "Rosie the Riveter". She never claims the fame she so deserves. Her and many other women worked hard to support our troupes. She lost many classmates and friends to this war. When soldiers did come home, women lost their jobs honorably to give back to the men that had served their country. My mom is a hero to me and our country that she is so proud of. Heroes come in many sizes, shapes, color and gender. God bless them all!
