Our group’s Jeannette Gutierrez participated in the festivities surrounding the 100th birthday of Lt. Col. Alexander Jefferson, WWII Tuskegee Airman. She was honored to be among those invited to the Press Reception and Rededication Ceremony for Jefferson Field in Detroit.

Jeannette Gutierrez made a longtime dream of hers come true when she organized and event to reunite the B-24 Liberator bomber Diamond Lil with the women who built her, the men who flew her, and the brave Tuskegee Airmen who escorted her on missions. The wonderful folks at the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) who keep Diamond Lil flying shared the dream, and worked with Jeannette to make it happen!

Not one but several crews from National Geographic visited Ypsilanti and Detroit to film, photograph and interview our Chapter’s Rosies!
