Bill > SRes76

This Resolution expresses support for designating March 21, 2017, as "National Rosie the Riveter Day" to honor the approximately 16 million women who contributed to the United States' war effort during World War II. These women, often referred to as "Rosie the Riveters," left their homes to work in factories, farms, and other essential industries, or volunteered with organizations like the United Service Organizations (USO) and the American Red Cross, performing vital tasks such as riveting airplane parts, collecting materials, and rolling bandages. The resolution acknowledges their significant contributions from the home front, aims to preserve their history and legacy, and promote patriotic ideals, excellence, and loyalty.
