Ms. STABENOW. Mr. President, today I wish to honor a champion
for Detroit and for Michigan, Mike Ilitch. Everyone from Michigan knows
his life story: the son of Macedonian immigrants, he founded Little
Caesars Pizza, one of the largest pizza chains in the world, and
rebuilt both the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings into world
class, winning franchises. He led the Red Wings to four Stanley Cups
and brought the Tigers to the World Series twice. The story of Mike Ilitch is the story of never doing anything
halfway. He embodies the American dream: he served as a marine, built a
business empire, and had an eye for perfection that led him to
incredible success.
