Rosie the Riveters speak with Team Travis Airmen
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Makenzie Katz, center, 60th Security Forces Squadron installation patrol, poses for a photo with members of the original Rosie the Riveters June 25, 2019, at Travis Air Force Base, California. The Rosies, who are all in their 90s, were invited to Travis AFB to share their experiences with base personnel. Used in movies, newspapers, posters, photographs and articles, the Rosie the Riveter campaign stressed the patriotic need for women to enter the workforce during World War II. Though women filled many positions during the war, the aviation industry saw the greatest increase in female workers. (U.S. Air Force photo by Heide Couch)
