Here's my favorite from a collection of "Rosie the Riveter" photos.
This photo was taken by LIFE photographer Bernard Hoffman at a boat-and-sub-building yard in October 1943

Our history
Thanks for posting, my father in law has quite a collection of theses "war time" posters, he will enjoy seeing these. My boss will also like them cause he was a chief for ~20 years in the navy during the cold war. Now I have something to kinda thank him for all the stories he shares with me, all the other guys in the shop head for the hills when he starts war story time but I love to hear 'em.
Some of the shit that went on back then was incredible, now a days whole platoons would be up on charges; but back then 90% was good fun and served very well to help and relieve the stress.
LETS HEAR IT FOR OUR VETERANS!!!!
