“The millions of American women were amazing during WWII. When they hired us, they didn’t ask if we were a Democrat or a Republican, they asked us to help save our country, which we did. Our Veterans will tell you that they couldn’t have won the war if it hadn’t been for all the equipment that the women made for them. We deserve this Congressional Gold Medal and it shouldn’t have taken our country 75 years to realize this.”
– Mae Krier, an original “Rosie”
