KERRY EXPLAINED, WHILE HE IS
NOT THINKING ABOUT
RUNNING IN 2020, HE WON'T CLOSE
THE DOOR ON THAT
POSSIBILITY.
TODAY ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, BELLS RANG OUT,
HONORING THE ROSY THE RIVETERS
OF WORLD WAR II.
FINALITY-TWO-YEAR-OLD BERTHA
GLAVIN WAS ONE OF THEM.
1943.
SHE WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH
SCHOOL.
HER PRINCIPAL CALLED HER OUT OF
CLASS AND TOLD HER
SHE HAD A JOB TO GO TO.
THE PLACE THAT I WENT TO WAS
LOYAL MANUFACTURING
COMPANY IN SOUTH BOSTON, AND
THEY WERE MAKING THE
NAVY RAINCOATS.
SO I DID THEIR PAYROLL.
BERTHA SAID SHE DIDN'T EVEN
REALIZE SHE WAS ROSY
UNTIL SHE MADE A PHONE CALL,
LOOKING TO REGISTER HER
OLDER SISTER, WHO WAS A WELDER
DURING THE WAR.
THIS IS JUST LIKE PEOPLE FROM
THAT GENERATION TO GO,
