By UsAbmc (Instagram) Among the famous female icons of World War II was “Rosie the Riveter” –a representation of the women working in shipyards and factories across America during World War II. While the ‘Rosies’ did not serve overseas, they were vital in keeping America’s defense indsutrial base at full production throughout WWII. Marian Wynn was one of those women who served on the home front. While she was working as a pipe welder at Kaiser Shipyard #3, her brother, Pfc. Donald F. Parsons, served in the Army Signal Corps. In July 1944, Pfc. PARSONS was killed in action; he rests at Normandy American Cemetery.
Marian will go to work as Rosie in California after the death of her brother in August 44. (Stéphanie H L) | ||||||
