RECOGNIZING FRANCES MAURO MASTERS ON HER 100TH BIRTHDAY AND FOR HER

SERVICE AS A ROSIE THE RIVETER DURING WORLD WAR II

______

HON. LISA C. McCLAIN

of michigan

in the house of representatives

Monday, March 7, 2022

Mrs. McCLAIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Frances Mauro Masters for her service to this country as a Rosie the Riveter, and to celebrate her 100th birthday.

The daughter of Italian immigrants, Frances was born on March 7, 1922. Determined to serve her country, provide for her family and support her two brothers in the service, Frances rode the bus with her two sisters to and from the east side of Detroit to Ypsilanti, Michigan every day where she worked as a Riveter at the town's Bomber Plant. A shy, quiet and hard-working young woman, Frances continued her work as a Riveter throughout the duration of World War II. The war sadly had enormous personal cost to Frances, as her brother lost his life.

Madam Speaker, Frances Mauro Masters is a true American hero, the embodiment of the `greatest generation' and a role model for all Americans today, especially young women. As the years go by, it becomes even more important to recognize humble and outstanding members of our greatest generation like Frances. I thank Frances for her service to this country and the selfless example she has set for all of us, and congratulate her on 100 years of life well-lived.
