	Rosie the Riveter
		Seated against the backdrop of a rippling American flag, she is shown pausing for lunch, with a riveting machine and a tin lunch box balanced on her substantial lap, her visor and goggles pushed back on her head and a ham sandwich clasped in her hand.
		Despite the humor apparent in the painting, Rockwell's Rosie the Riveter is also a testament to the indomitable strength of the American spirit during one of the most challenging times in the nation's history.
		Rosie's cool self confidence, sheer physical might and unwavering support of her country parallel the strength, determination and patriotism of the American people.

		Because she fit the image of the Kay Kyser hit song, "Rosie the Riveter", she was selected to appear in a short film that promoted war bonds throughout the nation's theaters.

	Rosie The Riveter National Historical Park
		Although Rosie the Riveter was a fictitious character, the image of a musclebound woman in overalls became an enduring wartime icon, embodying the nation's can-do spirit, and was popularized in posters, war- bond promotions and the 1942 song, "Rosie the Riveter."
		Riveting, a laborious, highly skilled task, was replaced at the Kaiser shipyards by faster prefabrication techniques during the war.
		For the Rosies of Richmond, among them Charles Etta Turner, 77, who moved from Denison, Tex., to work as a shipfitter, who positioned the parts for welding, the memorial is cause to rethink a part of their lives that until recently, neither they nor others recognized as historically important.
