My Nonprofit Reviews

I am extremely proud to be involved with Thanks! The interviews being collected will guarantee that the work of women during World War II will not just be remembered but celebrated for their significant contribution to the war effort. As a professor of history, I have witnessed first hand the influence the "Rosies" have on the younger generation of men and women. Meeting the "Rosies" in person, or listening to recorded interviews, brings the war 'alive' for them. World War II becomes more than just an event in history but an experience in which they can briefly share through the powerful and intimate stories of the "Rosies." Female students, especially, recognize this generation of women as role models, women who bravely entered industrial fields once closed to them and proved their worth.

Due to the age of the "Rosies", the work of Thanks! has never been more needed.
