It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.🕊️🇺🇸

At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.

Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age.

In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II.

To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered.

She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose.

Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations.

In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace.

Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind.

Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her.

Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson.

Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always.

Happy Parents' Day from The Guardian

Today, we honor the extraordinary men and women who serve in our military, first responder, and public safety communities while also carrying one of life's greatest responsibilities—being a parent.

Service doesn't end when the shift is over or the uniform comes off. Many of our heroes leave home before sunrise, miss holidays and milestones, and answer the call when others need them most. Yet through every sacrifice, they continue to lead with love, resilience, and unwavering dedication to their families.

To the parents who wear a badge, a uniform, or protective gear: thank you for showing your children what courage, compassion, and selfless service look like. Your example leaves a legacy that extends far beyond your profession.

To the spouses, grandparents, family members, and communities who help support these families—you are an essential part of the mission.

From all of us at **The Guardian**, thank you to every parent who serves, and to every family that stands beside them. Your sacrifices are seen, your commitment is appreciated, and your impact will never be forgotten.

💙 Happy Parents' Day. Stay safe. Stay connected. Take care of one another.

**Support Doesn't End When the Uniform Comes Off.**

Every day, too many of our nation's veterans continue to fight battles that no one can see. The scars of service don't always fade when the mission ends, and for many, the hardest fight begins after they return home.

At The Guardian, we believe that asking for help is a sign of courage—not weakness. Whether you're a veteran, active-duty service member, first responder, or someone who loves them, you are never alone. There is hope, there is help, and there are people who care.

Let's continue breaking the stigma surrounding mental health by checking in on one another, having the difficult conversations, and reminding those who served that they are still valued, needed, and never forgotten.

If you or someone you know is struggling, don't wait. Reach out. A single conversation can change—or even save—a life.

Together, we can ensure that no veteran fights alone.

💙 *From all of us at The Guardian—thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your strength. We stand with you today and every day.*

Today, our hearts are heavy as we honor the two U.S. service members who were killed while defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks in Jordan. We also hold in our thoughts the service member who remains missing, those who were injured, and every military family waiting for answers.

Behind every headline is a son, daughter, spouse, parent, sibling, teammate, and friend whose lives have been forever changed. Their sacrifice is immeasurable, and the impact of their loss extends far beyond the battlefield.

At The Guardian, we know that when a service member falls, the mission of supporting those left behind begins. We stand with the families, friends, and fellow service members who are navigating unimaginable grief. Whether through peer support, compassionate resources, or simply ensuring no one grieves alone, we are committed to honoring our fallen by caring for those who carry their memory forward.

To the families of the fallen, to those still serving, and to every Gold Star family who understands this pain—we stand with you. Your loved ones' service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Please keep the missing service member, the injured, and all those deployed in your thoughts and prayers.

The Guardian always remembers our fallen.

**🇺🇸 Independence Day & PTSD Awareness 🇺🇸**

As we all prepare to gather this Fourth of July, many will celebrate with fireworks, family, and friends. For others—including veterans, first responders, law enforcement, firefighters, EMS professionals, and trauma survivors—the loud explosions and flashing lights can trigger memories they never asked to relive.

At **The Guardian**, we encourage everyone to celebrate with compassion. A small act of understanding can make a big difference.

❤️ If you're celebrating:

* Be mindful of neighbors who may be affected by fireworks.
* Let those around you know before setting off loud fireworks.
* Consider attending or supporting community displays instead of setting off fireworks at home.
* Check in on someone who may be struggling.

💙 If you're living with PTSD:
Please remember—you are not alone. It's okay to step away from the noise, wear hearing protection, spend time in a safe space, or reach out to someone you trust. Taking care of yourself is not weakness; it's strength.

Freedom means looking out for one another. This Independence Day, let's celebrate not only our nation's independence but also our commitment to supporting those who have sacrificed so much.

From all of us at **The Guardian**, we wish you a safe, meaningful, and compassionate Fourth of July.

**"Honor the brave. Support the healing. Celebrate with kindness."** 🇺🇸💙
