Story shared: A Special Rosie the Riveter

Sat, 09 Feb 2019 04:29:51 EST

Dorothy was a very special Rosie the Riveter. Over 10 years, we have found, gotten to know, and introduced almost 200 Rosies to their communities, America and Allied Nations, and she was one of the first and in our documentary film, which was named "We pull together. Rosie the Riveters Then and Now." from something she said early on. She was the first to tell us that when she riveted airplanes at Fairchild Industries in Hagerstown, the workers repeated, "We pull better when we pull together." We have used that over and over for 10 years as we have encouraged Americans to pull together by getting to know Rosies in the very short time we have left with them. She voted on several issues that Rosies decided, such as what tree and what bird species best represent Rosies, and she visited the museum in Hagerstown where we saw the planes she riveted. She is a fine example of the quality of women who helped behind the scenes to preserve freedom. Anne Montague www.thanksplainandsimple.org

My deepest sympathy to the whole family. She and mom were roommates just a short time but long enough to know she was a strong, vibrant, kind woman. I was instantly saddened when I heard. She is at peace and I know she felt the love from each and every one of you. ❤️

And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4
