Rosie the Riveters Kept the Home Fires Burning.wmv
The inspiration for this video came from a song that was popular during the first and second world wars - it was called, "Keep the Home Fires Burning." It was about soldiers at war and their loved ones keeping the home fires burning waiting for their return. Rosie the Riveters of World War II kept the home fires burning by helping out on the homefront by taking jobs in war produciton - building planes, ships, tanks, etc. to give their fighting men the equipment they needed to win the war.

RIVET GUNS AND ROSIES (A Tribute to WWII Rosie the Riveters)
มุมมอง 3.9K14 ปีที่แล้ว
Another tribute to our Rosies! Lots of splicing, dicing and mixing went into making this video. I used many public domain films and photos, personal photos as well as those contributed by Rosies. I also included clips from interviews I had with two WWII Veterans. I purchased the music license from The Music Bakery for the music track used in this video (see credits at the end of the video). I h...

I produced this video as a tribute to Rosie the Riveters and all those who helped out on the homefront during World War II. It provides a little history about the events of that time and how women were affected. Included in the video are audio clips of the lovable Fibber McGee and Molly, the voice of Sammy Kaye at the closing of one his music broadcasts (which was played on the radio just prior...

    I salute all the Rosie's of WWII and the Greatest Generation. What all of them did is not only commendable, admirable and as this clip alludes to, is the greatest collective achievement of all time. We owe a lot to them, and as they all slip off into history may future generations never forget who they were and what they did.

    Thank you for this tribute! My grandmother worked in the shipyards in Wisconsin...a tough lady with a heart as big as the ships she welded in!

    I encourage all women who were Rosies (or their children or husbands on their behalf) to become members of the American Rosie the Riveter Association. There's a website with more info...TH-cam won't allow a link to be put in here, but the website is RosietheRiveter and the extension is dot net. I also encourage Rosies to share their stories...write them down for future generations to learn about.

    There's a woman named Lola Weixel in the1980 film/documentary by Connie Field called the Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter - is this the movie you're referring to?. I just saw on Amazon that there's a used VHS copy of it for sale. Hope this helps! By the way, just curious about what you said about short skirts since there aren't any in my video - just slacks and below-the-knee dresses. :)

    This posting, & the accompanying footage & overdub commentary, is just one fabulous, inspiring piece of work. A GREAT posting !! All you young generation of kids out there NOW .. aged anywhere from 16 to say 25 .. this history is GOOD for you to know about & to absorb. THINK ABOUT what you see & hear in videos like these. It may just help you to realise .. just a wee bit more .. just how good you've got it in these modern times - and what your families went thru, for your freedom.

    In 2000, the Rosie the Riveter Memorial was officially dedicated in Point Richmond, CA. I attended the ceremony. Lots of "Rosies" were there. The weather was nice. I was very proud of history being remembered.

    Funny how about 5 years later women's labor and working rights when back to the home. All rosies became housewifes again. It wasn't until the sixties women became to speak up about the backlash.

    Thank you! I'm also very intrigued with that decade...the cars, the way people dressed, the movies and music, etc. But yes, I'm sure those were very tough times. As horrible as the war was, I like how everyone made the best of things and pulled together.
