| Often forgotten in our conversation of those who served America while those in uniform were in harms way during World War II were the women working in the ship yards or airplane plants were the ladies known as Rosie the Riveter, we salute them. |


| Naomi Parker Fraley was photographed in 1942 while working at California's Alameda Naval Air Station, where she'd taken a job to help her country during World War II. Naomi Parker, sporting a polka-dotted bandanna while operating a lathe at work, was likely the inspiration for the image that's known today as Rosie the Riveter. One of those ladies was my mother who incidentally was name Rose. |
