In this April 30, 2019 photo, Martha Wahe poses for a photo in her home in Moline, Ill. Wahe worked as a "Rosie the Riveter" at the Rock Island Arsenal during the winter of 1942 as the nation entered its second year of World War II. "Rosie" is a moniker given to the unprecedented number of women who went to work in factories as part of the war effort, replacing men who were drafted to fight. Wahe worked 23 years for the Arsenal, both during and after the war, but this summer she's going to relive the early days as she welcomes to the island any and all Rosies coming to the Quad-Cities for a national "Rosie the Riveter" convention.
