THE AMERICAN ROSIE MOVEMENT

SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2020 - THE NETHERLANDS EMBASSY HONORS ROSIES

In May and June, 2015, American Rosie Movement and others worked with the Netherlands Embassy, the National Liberation Museum in Nijmegan, Netherlands, and the King and Queen of the Netherlands at Arlington Cemetery and held ceremonies to thank American Rosies. 

In May 2016, American Rosie Movement took Anna Hess, a Rosie who had gone to the Netherlands the previous year, to the Netherlands Embassy in Washington and then to the Netherlands Carillon, where the Ambassador talked of the history of the carillon and how the bells were made of melted down artillery shells. At that moment, American Rosie Movement saw that bells must be used to wake up people to the importance of following the Rosie Legacy. 

Now, in September 2020, the Netherlands Embassy hosted an event where a dogwood tree that was previously planted for the Rosies on the embassy grounds received a plaque that commemorated the Rosies.

We would like to thank the Netherlands Embassy for the outstanding work they have done with us and other Rosie advocates since 2015. Other photos of their work can be seen on different parts of this website. 

The speech that Anne gave during that event can be accessed from here.

PAST EVENTS

WHAT YOU AND OTHERS WILL DO TO ADVANCE THE AMERICAN ROSIE MOVEMENT™:

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN. THEN, ACT AS ANY GOOD CITIZEN SHOULD.

1. Listen to a Rosie, then understand her importance to all of us,

2. Realize that when people, groups, and the nation act together to do something that needs to be done, we unify into a force that has a major impact for the world,

3. Work with others to create something – big or small – that honors the basic importance of Rosies: To pull together to produce something that makes a statement for doing quality work to overcome a problem facing the human family,

4. Tell others that the American Rosie Movement™ (ARM) is needed today and well into the future, help others to pull together to do something that honors the basics of good citizenship, and that we are thankful for each other’s help,

5. Make a statement – through your communication and action – about the need to embrace ARM as a new, refreshing, and clearly important social movement,

6. Join with others to publicize what you are doing, so that everyone’s contributions are seen as adding up to a whole, lasting, game-changing effort.
