Rosie the Riveter RIP By Mike HuckabeeA final salute to a Huck’s Heroine who finally got the long-overdue recognition she deserved. Tulsa-born Naomi Parker Fraley has died at 96 in Longview, Washington. You know her as “Rosie the Riveter,” the World War II-era female factory worker who became a symbol of both the homefront war effort, and later on, of the women’s rights movement in general.At 20, the former waitress became one of the first women employed at the machine shop of the Alameda, California, Naval Air Station shortly after the Pearl Harbor attack. She was working on a turret lathe in her coveralls and red-and-white polka dot bandana when a photographer snapped her picture. That photo made the newspapers and inspired artist J. Howard Miller’s iconic “We Can Do It” poster. But Fraley’s name was never attached to the poster.In the 1980s, another woman was mistakenly identified as the worker in the original photo that inspired “Rosie the Riveter.” It wasn’t until 2015 that a researcher finally tracked down Fraley and corrected the error. He said it was sad and unfair that she had been robbed of her rightful place in history for so long, but there was nothing she could do because when you’re 95, nobody will listen to your story. It’s especially ironic considering people were using an image inspired by her to protest women not getting the credit they deserved.Fortunately, Naomi Parker Fraley lived long enough to see the record corrected and get the credit due her, both for the photo and her service to America. And her inspiring image is sure to go on living after her for many years to come. Semper Fi, Tom Miller tfmillerini@verizon.net www.9-11art.com SEMPER FI
