Ruth Nohejl McGaughran Born in Huntington, New York in 1926 "One of the Original Rosie the Riveters" When the United States entered World War II, my Grandma was one of the very first women in the home-front crusade who felt it was her patriotic duty to respond to the call to help arm the American troops with munitions, warships, and aircraft. She worked for 50 cents an hour driving rivets into the metal bodies of fighter planes. I'm so proud of her! She later went to college and became a nurse. #rosietheriviter #wwii #1940s #work #workforce #airplane #mechanic #war #womenempowerment #wecandoit #feminist #feminism #vintage #grandma

@agentmarysacarter I'm sorry for your husband's loss. It sucks because my mom didn't ever know her Grandma, either. She died 9 months before she was born. I'm glad I knew my Grandma before she passed away but I wish I had more time with her.
@sundancer16 my hubbyβs grandfather was killed in Normandy. These life lessons need to be passed down from one generation to the next. Thank you for doing this creation. π
