Join us as we honor and celebrate Rosie the Riveters and all women who worked on the home front during World War II. Our guest speaker is Raya Kenney, Founder of the National Memorial to the Women Who Worked on the Home Front Foundation.* Attendees will also have the pleasure of hearing from real live Rosies who served our country during WWII. 

* Learn more about Raya and this Foundation at WWIIWomenMemorial.org
Over 18 million American women kept the home front running in support of the World War II effort (codebreakers, pilots, machinists, butchers, engineers, lumberjacks, farmers, etc.) Our mission is to build a National Memorial in Washington, DC in honor of these women and their service to our nation.

Also, the Washington Post did a wonderful article about Raya:
