The model who posed for one of WW2's most iconic images has passed away.

Just came across this new blurb. Very interesting for those who, like me, are into WW2 era signs and posters.

Thanks for posting OBIO. I have a coffee cup with 'Rosie the Riveter' lithographed on it. God bless Geraldine:USA-flag:. No doubt about it,...she showed that 'can-do' spirit that infected workers throughout the US during WWII. I could easily see her punching in rivets on P-38's at Lockheed. Or on a Liberty ship.
Makes one wonder if this country is producing anymore 'Rosie the Riveter' types.....

Yes we are....but they don't rivet anymore.....

Define "Rivet" many of the female soldiers I have seen can not only Rivet my skinny butt full of lead, but they are darn "Riveting" to behold. :running:
