The six women worked at the Kaiser Shipyard in Richmond during World War II.
One of them, 91-year-old Phyllis Gould wrote Vice President Joe Biden, asking for more credit for their efforts… and a hug, which she got.

The six riveters also met President Barack Obama and took a picture with him as well.
