                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MIKE GALLAGHER

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2021

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to extend my sincere 
appreciation to the Bay Link Manufacturing team at Green Bay West High 
School for constructing an American Flag pull-up bar for display.
  Bay Link Manufacturing is a manufacturing learning lab located in 
West High School that is used to immerse students in real-world 
experiences through completing projects for local companies in the 
areas of welding, machine fabrication, and metals. Bay Link 
Manufacturing began when the Green Bay Area Public School District 
recognized that our future depends on creating a highly-skilled 
workforce to sustain our communities. In 2014, the Green Bay Area 
Public School District partnered with Northeast Wisconsin Technical 
College and the NEW Manufacturing Alliance to create Bay Link 
Manufacturing.
  This outstanding program is available to .Juniors and Seniors 
enrolled throughout the Green Bay Area Public School District and 
prepares students to attend a two- or four-year college or those who 
enter the workforce in the field of manufacturing and engineering. 
Since 2014, the Bay Link students have produced a lengthy portfolio 
that recognizes their hard work and dedication to their craft. The Bay 
Link program has completed projects for companies including Georgia-
Pacific, Green Bay Police Department S.W.A.T. team, Kl, and ACE Marine. 
I commend the Bay Link Team for the outstanding services that they have 
provided to the students at the Green Bay School District and to 
businesses throughout Northeast Wisconsin.
  The Bay Link Manufacturing program provides local employers 
throughout Northeast Wisconsin with the opportunity to train future 
employees to ensure that the manufacturing sector continues to grow. 
The Bay Link Manufacturing program at West High School is a true credit 
to Northeast Wisconsin. The American Flag pull-up bar they have 
displayed in my District Office is one step closer to fulfilling my 
dream of having a pull-up bar in every airport and I want to extend my 
sincere thanks to the Bay Link Manufacturing students for making that a 
reality.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in extending my sincere thanks and 
appreciation to the Bay Link Manufacturing team at West High School for 
their work on the American Flag pull-up bar and all they do for 
Northeast Wisconsin.
