[remember -- for Lent, I gave up ranting (only on Saturdays ... and only on this blog and not in real life), so I still have a few more weeks of raving to go ...]
... sometime this week is the day we honor all the remaining Rosie the Riveters out there.
All I could find on the interwebs was this image implying it was today, but the Harry show (the daytime talk show that is giving me my Bonnie Hunt fix while she enjoys her too-too-early retirement ... for at least until September seeing as how the show is wrapping after two years at that time) made it sound like it was coming up this week on the 21st (as that is the day it was last year by Senate decree).
At the links below/to follow, you can see part of Harry's interview with one of the surviving Rosies (91 year old Mae Krier). With those who dealt with WWII dying every day, it's a timely reminder that not all who "served" did time on the front lines. Whether today ... or the 21st ... or *every* day ... let's remember and let's honor ALL of those from the greatest generation who were called on to contribute the last time we had to resist against the types of ultra-nationalistic leaders who base everything they do on stoking the fires of divisiveness.
