American Rosie the Riveter Association is trying to locate women who worked on the homefront during World War II., 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 volunteer workers collecting scrap metals and other critical materials. These women have stories of their experiences that are of historical value and 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 the archives., The annual convention will be held from June 9-11 in Kansas City, Missouri, featuring speakers, entertainment and food. Once finalized, details will be posted at www.rosietheriveter.net., Any woman or descendant of a woman who worked during the war should call 1-888-557-6743 or e-mail americanrosietheriveter2@yahoo.com.
