Mary Perez, 95, of Virginia Beach, VA, sits for a portrait in her home on Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Mrs. Perez was a riveter for one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the United States during World War II. Her memories of those years resurfaced recently when she heard about the death of the model for artist Norman Rockwell's "Rosie the Riveter." (Steve Earley /The Virginian-Pilot via AP) MAGS OUT
