Check out all those "Rosie the Riveters"! Cool pics, love 'em. I collect a lot of pinup-girl type pics online, these go with them too.

Obama's grandma is in one of those pics, but don't tell Frank! :D

I've always believed the WWII Generation was one Americas greatest generations. The civilians who worked for our war effort deserve as much praise as the Vets of that era. :)
