'Rosie the Riveter' group searches for women who served in WWII

American Rosie the Riveter Association is trying to locate women who worked on the home front during WWII.
Thousands of women worked to support the war effort as riveters, welders, electricians, inspectors in plants, sewing clothing and parachutes for the military, ordnance workers, rolling bandages, clerical, farming and many other jobs such as volunteers collecting scrap metal and other critical materials.
These women have stories of their WWII experiences of historical value that perhaps have never been told. American Rosie the Riveter Association would like to acknowledge these women with a certificate and have their stories placed in their archives.
American Rosie the Riveter Association is a patriotic/non-profit organization with the purpose of recognizing and preserving the history and legacy of working women during WWII. The organization was founded in 1998 by Dr. Frances Carter, of Birmingham, Alabama and now has over 5,700 members nationwide. Current elected officers from Georgia, Maryland, Texas, Missouri and Alabama all serve on a volunteer basis.
An annual convention lets the members get together with old friends and make new friends, as well. The next convention will be held in New Orleans in June 2018. When plans are finalized, details will be posted on the website: www.rosietheriveter.net and through the Media.
