Each year, there are fewer living Rosies. Those of us left hope to see firsthand the day that our efforts, and our sacrifices, are remembered and honored on the National Mall alongside our memorial…

Yesterday was an extraordinary honor.

The Foundation was proud to stand in for the inimitable Mae Krier at the Pennsylvania Governor’s State Dinner, where Mae was honored among the Keystone Award recipients for her outstanding service to our country during WWII and beyond.

We were also honored to celebrate fellow Rosie the Riveter Dorothy Trate, who was in attendance and recognized for her service as well.

Mae and Dorothy are remarkable women from one generation with a legacy of courage, service, and perseverance that continues to inspire people to this day.

Thank you Gov. Shapiro and First Lady Lori Shapiro for hosting such an incredible group of honorees.

This Labor Day, let’s remember the women who changed what work looked like in America.
During WWII, more than 18 million women stepped into jobs they had been told they were incapable of doing. They built ships, welded, riveted, farmed, drove, designed, supplied, and kept America running.

They were the Rosies.

Their work changed our country and their courage changed what women could imagine for themselves.

Now it’s our turn to make sure their story can never be forgotten.

A national memorial honoring these women belongs on the National Mall where generations of Americans can see it, learn from it, and understand what these women made possible.

The bipartisan World War II Women’s Memorial Location Act (S.1088/H.R. 2290) would make that possible. S.1088 is waiting in the Senate.

This is about more than a memorial.

It’s also about the women who worked before us. It’s about the women working today. And it’s about every girl who deserves to know that hearing “you can’t” is never the end of the story.

Here’s three things you can do to help:

👉 SIGN THE PETITION.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrB6McuvVXeIUzgvHljc40IW21XfjAObqlCv7QPQfw0x6edg/viewform?

👉 SHARE IT FAR AND WIDE.
👉 Tag a Rosie or someone who needs to know her story.

18 million women helped keep America moving. Now let’s make sure America remembers them.

Sign it. Share it. Move it forward. We can do it! 💪

DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 13th!

This Labor Day, let’s remember the women who changed the way working America looked. The working women of WWII, the Rosies. They filled and opened doors to jobs that women had previously been told they were incapable of doing (can you imagine?!)
Sign the petition to get their memorial on the National Mall near the WWII Memorial; bipartisan S.1088 is awaiting Senate Committee passage. Let’s move it forward to a vote!

We had such an amazing time at Washington Nationals Women’s Night!

100 year old Mae Krier, one of the last living original Rosie the Riveters, helped kick off the game with a special video message played for the crowd during the “Play Ball!” moment at Nationals Park. The incredible WWII Women’s Memorial Foundation team spent the evening at the ballpark, meeting fans at our table for Rosie photos, koozies, and conversations about the national memorial we’re building on the National Mall to honor the 18 million women who kept America running on the WWII home front.

Thank you to the for such a special night!

Help honor the women who kept America running during WWII. More than 18 million women worked on the home front building planes and ships, producing supplies, serving in offices, farms, hospitals, and more. Their contributions were essential to the war effort and changed our nation forever.

Now, the bipartisan World War II Women’s Memorial Location Act (S.1088/H.R.2290) would authorize the National Mall as the site of a memorial honoring these women.

Do you have a real-life Rosie in your family? Were you one yourself? Or do you believe their legacy deserves to be remembered?
