This was truly a different view on life in a world at war. Women and men building ships to defend our country and the type of people that applied to do the job. Truly an interesting and enlightened viewpoint to a time period I did not know. My father served on one of those ships that were built and I would like to thank the women who carefully built the ships and the way they suffered through cold and nasty weather and long days to make sure they were top notch. Thank you.

My grandmother was one of the welders at Evansville from 1942 to 1944. In fact, I have her "Contribution To War Production" certificate from The Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Company framed on my wall. As of this writing, Grandma is still with us at age 92. Think I'll buy her a copy. :-)

"Don't Call Me Rosie" is very inspiring! These women and men are terrific role models and proud Americans. I gained a greater appreciation of my father's war experience after reading this book. Everyday people who made a difference!
