“My name is Dan Oulette and I am a pipe fitter at Bath Iron Works for 27 years this week. Doin’ the pipe fitting it wears out your elbows and your knees and your joints in your body, and it’s time for me to retire in 3 more years. It’s fed my family, it’s kept a nice place to live close to the coast here, and my grandfather worked here for 44 years and it makes me proud to build ships for the US government."
