American Rosie the Riveter Association

From the Feb. 11, 2012, Albany (Oregon) Democrat-Herald.

The American Rosie the Riveter Association (ARRA) is seeking women who worked in factories making war materials at the homefront during World War II. Thousands worked as riveters, welders, electrical, sewing clothing and parachutes and making ordnance.

The ARRA is collecting their stories. The association was begun in 1998 by Frances Carter in Birmingham, Alabama, and now has 4,000 members.

Glad to Have This Organization Saluting People Who Were Every Bit As Important As the People in the War Zones. We Would Have Lost the War But For Their Efforts. --GreGen
