13. Yet Another Disgusting Insult to the women who have, and continue to serve!

Fri Jun 19, 2026, 06:06 PM

Friday

My mom wasn't in the military, but she was a master draftsman of related weapons parts for Hughes Aircraft in California, and then another firm back in NYC during WW2!

I knew she was, but it wasn't till way later discussing it with my sister, our cousin came by and said- she wasn't just a draftsman, but *the* head draftsman for the place! Had at least 25 people maybe 50, or more under her at times! So everyone had to submit their drawings to her for review. She also worked on her own drafting assignments.
She kept her T-Square!
