• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

My mother was living in Vicksburg Mississippi during the war and she said that there were only old men (seniors) and young boys in the
city due to the others being deployed. She said that in the evening, going to and from work, ladies were often escorted by the local
police to and from their workplace/home.
 
The woman who posed for Rosie the Riveter was Geraldine Hoff Doyle. Artist J. Howard Miller posed her for that famous 'we can do it!' picture. Doyle was only 17 at the time. She died in 2010 at age 86.
