I produced this video as a tribute to Rosie the Riveters and all those who helped out on the homefront during World War II. It provides a little history about the events of that time and how women were affected. Included in the video are audio clips of the lovable Fibber McGee and Molly, the voice of Sammy Kaye at the closing of one his music broadcasts (which was played on the radio just prior to the NBC announcement about the Pearl Harbor bombing) and the beginning of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Day of Infamy Speech."

The video clips I used were taken from several Public Domain films made during the 1940s. Some of these clips include actual footage of the Pearl Harbor bombing on December 7, 1941.
