A piece of history living in the Valley: an original "Rosie the Riveter" has just turned 100 years old! And she was greeted by a young girl who had been waiting to meet her.It was a special day for 10-year-old Audrey Graft. Every birthday, Audrey dresses up as a different theme for a picture. This year, she chose Rosie the Riveter because of her powerful message."We're strong, independent, and we can do it," she said.
She wanted to join her brother, who had been enlisted."I went to the recruiting office, and they said we don’t take women, and I said, well I’m not a woman, I’m a girl and I want to join the Army."That we can do it attitude led to this original Rosie meeting a future generation one."This little girl, she can do or work and whatever she wants, she can join the Army or fly a plane, be on a ship, you can do whatever you wanna do, whatever you wanna work it, you can do it.
