PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Students at Calkins Road Middle School celebrated the 100th birthday of Mary Masciangelo, a real-life Rosie the Riveter, on Wednesday afternoon.
Masciangelo, from Fairport, worked during World War II alongside other women to produce military equipment. Last month, she was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor at the National World War II Museum.
“My brother had to go to Normandy, so I thought I could get a part-time job,” Masciangelo said. “I went to Monroe High School, and when they had days off, I’d go to work. And I made pins for the parachutes, and I put screws in the temples on the Air Force goggles.”
Students had the chance to hear her story, celebrate her accomplishments, and make her birthday cards.
