Mae Krier, one of the original "Rosie the Riveters" who built B-17 and B-29 aircraft at Boeing's Seattle plant during World War II, is turning 100 years old. This resolution formally recognizes her contributions — both as a wartime worker who helped build over 6,000 aircraft and as a lifelong advocate for preserving the history of the women who stepped into factory jobs while men were overseas. Krier, who has already received the Congressional Gold Medal, is credited with helping open doors for future generations of working women. The resolution thanks her on behalf of the House of Representatives.
