       COMMEMORATING GARDEN CITY'S ROSIE THE RIVETER ROSE GARDEN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RASHIDA TLAIB

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 1, 2023

  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today I want to celebrate the legacy of our 
nation's Rosie the Riveters in recognition of the dedication of the 
Rosie the Riveter Rose Garden in Garden City.
  During World War II countless women from across the nation and right 
here in Southeast Michigan took over jobs that had been previously 
performed by men. Three hundred thousand Rosie the Riveters held our 
country down during extremely trying times and became icons of women's 
empowerment and strength. This Labor Day, I am proud to recognize these 
women who blazed the trail for women in the workforce and for their 
contributions to the labor movement and our history.
  As we gather to ring a bell for Rosie, please join me and the people 
of Garden City in Michigan's 12th District Strong as we honor their 
legacy with the dedication of the Rosie the Riveter Rose Garden.
