ROSIE THE RIVETER LEAVES THIS EARTH

Posted in Uncategorized by Baba - Jan 24, 2018

Naomi Parker Fraley changed careers during WWII. She learned to be a machinist in the Navy shipyard at Alameda, CA.

Naomi died this week. She was 96.

She was represented on an iconic poster showing an American woman actively supporting the war effort.

Naomi was not finally identified as the model for the poster until 2016.

Here is the poster with Naomi posing in the foreground:

Thanks Naomi for helping to make America great. Rest in peace.
