Loss of a photographic and cultural icon

Another sign of the passing of time and of a generation.



These two captured the hearts and imaginations of generations that followed.
I feel just as I did when I found out that the woman they credited with inspiring the iconic "Rosie the Riveter" had passed on as well.

With the passing of this generation, there is a collective loss of knowledge and experience that may not ever be regained.

  1. I saw that story as well. Always good to find out the story behind the image. I just finished a book about veterans and telling their stories before it is too late. Important for all generations.

    Thanks for all of your input in the course. I hope you find some down time for you and your family.
