“the Harley-Davidson Company is gearing up for its 95th anniversary celebration, and I would like to take this opportunity to express my admiration for this outstanding Wisconsin company. Great Wisconsinites, like Green Bay Packer Coach Mike Holmgren, drive Harley bikes; I believe the coach has been seen around the State in a Heritage Softail. Harley Davidson is a company that I have long admired for its commitment to quality, its dedication to treating both customers and employees like the valuable commodities they are. I believe for this reason that Harley Davidson inspires a loyalty that we see too rarely in American-made products in this day and age. The company has come a long ways from its humble beginnings in 1903, but it has never lost its vision of the American dream, and continues to excel in both domestic and international marketplaces. Harley-Davidson is also a major contributor to the welfare of communities it is a part of. For example, Harley is a Wisconsin sponsor of the Tour de Cure an annual bike ride for American Diabetic Association. The company also contributes a portion of its corporate earnings each year for the Harley-Davidson Foundation which oversees charitable donation of groups like Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. For this reason, I want to be among those who are standing up saying, ``Happy Birthday, Harley-Davidson, and keep up the good work.''”
