During World War Two <br />All around this Nation <br />Women took up the Battle <br />Beyond all imagination. <br /> <br />Over six million of them <br />Traded aprons for coveralls <br />And answered like true Patriots <br />When their Country calls. <br /> <br />They worked in every industry <br />To build the tools of War <br />From guns and tanks and planes <br />To ships and so much more. <br /> <br />A key part of our Defense <br />To free the Men so they could fight <br />Showing they could do it all <br />They worked the plants day and night. <br /> <br />Could we have won without them? <br />Some say it would have been tough <br />And we never gave them credit <br />Or at the least, not near enough. <br /> <br />So many years have passed by <br />With so many changes in our life <br />Thanks to what all those Ladies did <br />Who were Sister, Mother, Friend or Wife.<br /><br />Del a.k.a.
