The women featured below were honored as Grand Marshals of the Long Beach Veterans Parade. These women worked in the aircraft factories, shipyards, munitions plants and other businesses during World War II so that the men could serve in the military. They were collectively and affectionately referred to as "Rosie the Riveter: after a song performed by an African American group called the Four Vagabonds.
Councilman Steve Neal of the 9th District hosted the parade and award ceremony.

18 Rosie the Riveters to be feted at Long Beach Veterans Parade November 6th
18 "Rosie the Riveters" will be feted as Grand Marshals of the November 6th Veterans Parade.
These are the women who worked on the homefront during World War II and made the planes, tanks, munitions and ships that helped win the war.
All will be riding in "antique" firetrucks (which by the way means any truck made before 1953!!)
Come out on the parade route on Atlantic Avenue beginning at 10 am and cheer them on.
