Bill > SRes418

This Resolution expresses support for designating March 21, 2018, 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, shipyards, and other essential industries, or volunteered with organizations like the United Service Organizations (USO) and the American Red Cross, taking on roles such as riveting airplane parts, collecting materials, and serving on rationing boards. The resolution acknowledges their significant contributions from the home front, recognizing their legacy and promoting patriotic ideals, workplace excellence, and loyalty to the nation, with March 21st being chosen as an appropriate date during Women's History Month.
