This morning, Rosie the Riveter Trust was honored to join the Concord Fourth of July Parade as three extraordinary World War II Rosies - Beatrice Aiello, Jeanne Gibson, and Marian Sousa - served as the parade's Grand Marshals!
As Beatrice, Jeanne, and Marian traveled the parade route, they were greeted with waves, cheers, applause, and heartfelt gratitude from thousands of spectators. It was a moving reminder that, more than 80 years later, their service on the American Home Front continues to inspire generations.
We were also proud to have an amazing team of volunteers marching alongside them, helping celebrate their legacy and share the story of the women and workers who helped win World War II.
Congratulations, Beatrice, Jeanne, and Marian! Thank you for your courage, your service, and for continuing to inspire us all.
Happy Fourth of July from everyone at Rosie the Riveter Trust! ❤️🤍💙
This Fourth of July weekend, celebrate America's story where history comes to life, right here in your own backyard.
As our nation commemorates the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, there's no better time to discover the remarkable National Park Service sites right here in the East Bay. Each offers a unique chapter in the American story: peaceful resistance, collective action, civil rights, resilience, unity, creativity and ecological justice.
Whether you're exploring the home front legacy that helped win World War II, reflecting on the fight for civil rights, walking in the footsteps of America's greatest conservationist, experiencing the home of a Nobel Prize-winning playwright, or enjoying the breathtaking beauty of our public lands, there's a national park waiting to inspire you.
This Independence Day, celebrate 250 years of American Spirit by getting outside, discovering our shared history, and supporting the places that preserve it for future generations.
