Key Points

  • This resolution celebrates the 100th birthday of Mae Krier, who served as an original "Rosie the Riveter" during World War II. She worked at a Boeing factory in Seattle, helping to build more than 6,000 military aircraft like the B-17 and B-29.
  • The measure recognizes Krier's role in a major cultural shift where millions of women entered the workforce for the first time. Her efforts helped the United States and its allies win the war and opened new doors for future generations of women in the workplace.
  • Beyond her wartime work, Krier is being honored for her lifelong dedication to teaching others about the history of women workers. She previously received the Congressional Gold Medal, which is the highest honor a civilian can receive from Congress.
