“Rosie the Riveter" represents the American women who worked in factories during World War II.
Their resilience and hard work helped us win the war.
Agnes was one of them. I called her on her 100th birthday, and I could not be more proud to have her support. pic.twitter.com/2toIvuhmsw— Joe Biden (Text Join to 30330) (@JoeBiden) March 8, 2020

Made me think of my Mom. She
Made me think of my Mom. She didn't work on airplanes during the war, she worked in Oak Ridge. I recently found her ID from Oak Ridge and one of her pay stubs. At 19, my Mom rode a bus, alone from Tulsa, OK, to Oak Ridge to work. Brave ladies doing the work of war.
Makes you smile and cry at the same time. I hope he gets to be the next President of the United States.
