Melania Trump honored the women who “became icons of their generation” with the induction of “The Rosies” into the Department of Labor Hall of Honor.
“Today I’m here to send a heartfelt thank you to “The Rosies” of our nation, the first lady explained in the clip she tweeted Thursday from the ceremony where “The Rosies” were inducted into the hall. “During World War II, while American soldiers were abroad, millions of brave American women joined a workforce filling jobs in factories, shipyards and aircraft assembly plants.” (RELATED: Melania Stuns In Pale-Pink Dress At Reception During UN General Assembly [PHOTOS])
