Rosie the Riveter

Each year our museum takes the opportunity to thank our veterans and introduce the next generation of high school students to the amazing sacrifices these men and women have made. As part of that mission, Tim, Robert and I conducted our Footlocker Program for the local school district. While standing in front of a B-17 Bomber, we dressed in WWII attire and using period artifacts explained to the kids what it was like in the European and Pacific Campaign and on the Homefront. We had a wonderful time and I think the students enjoyed it!
