Today our team had the honor of attending the 100th birthday celebration for Fran Metcalf, a Macomb County resident, a Navy veteran and an original 'Rosie the Riveter!' 💪 It was a real joy and privilege to join Fran for her special day. It's not often you get to meet a real-life hero -- so this was an incredible experience. As background, Fran worked at the GM plant in Cleveland, Ohio making air duct assemblies for over 75 B-29 Airplanes. She worked there from 1943-1944, when she turned 20 and was then able to join the Navy and serve in Brooklyn, NY. Fran was honorably discharged in 1946, and notably, the planes she helped build were also used several years later during the Korean War. What a legacy! Thank you for your service! #centenarian #rosietheriveter #veteran #macombcounty

We were proud to yesterday join Macomb Community College and the Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro, who announced the Michigan Maritime Manufacturing Initiative (M3), a federal, state and local partnership to help rebuild the maritime industrial base workforce the Navy needs. M3 will focus initially on submarine production skillsets before it expands to other types of ships. It will establish training pipelines and programs to meet the Navy’s need for thousands of new workers and jobs across the state and the broader Great Lakes region. We are thrilled that Macomb Community College is one of many academic partners throughout Michigan committed to developing the future maritime workforce. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gseGnFgJ
