Every event was filled with energy and joy as ARRA honored 31 WWII Rosies and celebrated with them as they represented all Rosies in receiving the American Spirit Award from the National World War II Museum Foundation.  The American Rosie the Riveter Association thanks the National World War II Museum for this remarkable way of preserving history, for their coordination with ARRA and for their gracious hospitality to all who attended the convention.  Special thanks to the Gary Sinise Foundation for their generous gift of transportation and lodging for all Rosies and their assisting companions.  Stay tuned for more convention stories and photos!
