Adeena Rose Wade (center left) and Ada Wyn Parker (center right) enjoy a lighter moment for those in attendance after planting the “Rosie the Riveter” ceremonial rose, marking ‘Rosie the Riveter Day,’ March 21, 2018, at the Portland International Rose Test Garden in Portland, Ore. The Portland event was one of eight held in Oregon, as 21 other states also paid honor to the legacy of women who made history on our home front during WWII with their ‘Can-do’ spirit, unity and service. Ada Wyn Parker was one of the original Rosie’s working on aircraft production at the Alameda Air/Navy Base, in California, supporting the war effort in the 1940’s.
