               TRIBUTE TO ANN S. MILLER AND TED MALIARIS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BOB CLEMENT

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 8, 2002

  Mr. CLEMENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ann S. Miller and Ted 
Maliaris of South Florida for their patriotism and consistent 
dedication to our nation through the ``A Tribute to America Tour.''
  Ann Miller and Ted Maliaris, a mother and son team, wrote and 
produced ``A Tribute to America--A 21st Century Anthem'' following the 
devastating events of September 11th. Their anthem is pertinent to all 
Americans, recognizing the dedication of our Armed Forces and the men 
and women in uniform who risk their lives every day to ensure our 
safety and the safety of freedom.
  Their sense of pride and devotion to America is clearly evident 
through their lyrics:

     We have freedom in our land, we will fight for our rights, we 
           will stand up for the brotherhood of man
     No one can destroy us through thick or thin we're a nation 
           that was built to survive.
     No terrorist plight can destroy our sight or the strength of 
           this motherland
     We're America, America
     Strong, Proud, Brave and Bold

  I urge all our colleagues, Mr. Speaker, to join me today in paying 
tribute to two loyal and proud Americans, Ann S. Miller and Ted 
Maliaris.
