Sorry for your loss, it's hard losing friends.
The May 30, 1942 issue of the Saturday Evening Post ran a Rosie riveter article. The cover photo of the article is a picture of a young woman working on the engine cowling of a B-24. I have that photo framed and hanging in my office. The young woman in the photo is my grandmother. She built B-24's while my grandfather was fighting in the Marshall Islands. I have the utmost respect for all those of that era and for all that have made sacrifices for freedom, then and now.
