“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Juanita Morgan who celebrated her 101st birthday in Randolph County, West Virginia, on June 1, 2024. Juanita represents a distinguished group of women, widely known as ``Rosie the Riveters,'' who helped fill the gaps in the industrial labor force in factories and shipyards when our brave soldiers left for World War II. They were known by the slogan, ``We Can Do It'' as you can see from the three ladies standing behind her in this picture. She served at the Glenn L. Martin aircraft factory in Baltimore, riveting B-29 airplanes. The B-29 airplane would play a pivotal role in our victory in the war. Juanita and all the Rosie the Riveters are inspiring individuals who demonstrate their patriotism of their generation as we came together to fight the forces of fascism in Europe and the Pacific. Randolph County is hosting a special event on August 10 to honor all of the West Virginia Rosie the Riveters and their families. I congratulate Juanita on a life well lived as she celebrates her 101st birthday and wish her continued good health. ____________________”
