                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing support for designation of March 21, 2020, as ``National 
                        Rosie the Riveter Day''.

Whereas ``National Rosie the Riveter Day'' is a collective national effort to 
        raise awareness of the 16,000,000 women working during World War II;
Whereas Americans have chosen to honor female workers who contributed on the 
        home front during World War II;
Whereas these women left their homes to work or volunteer full-time in 
        factories, farms, shipyards, airplane factories, banks, and other 
        institutions in support of the military overseas;
Whereas these women worked with the United Service Organizations and American 
        Red Cross, drove trucks, riveted airplane parts, collected critical 
        materials, rolled bandages, and served on rationing boards;
Whereas it is fitting and proper to recognize and preserve the history and 
        legacy of working women, including volunteer women, during World War II 
        to promote cooperation and fellowship among such women and their 
        descendants;
Whereas these women and their descendants wish to further the advancement of 
        patriotic ideas, excellence in the workplace, and loyalty to the United 
        States of America; and
Whereas March 21, 2020, during Women's History Month, would be an appropriate 
        date to designate as ``National Rosie the Riveter Day'': Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``National Rosie the 
        Riveter Day''; and
            (2) acknowledges the important role played by women in 
        World War II.
