                  HONORING ANN MILLER AND TED MALIARIS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize two 
patriotic Americans from my congressional district today, Ann S. Miller 
and Ted Maliaris. They have written and produced ``A Tribute to 
America--a 21st Century Anthem.''
  Ann Miller's song is delivered with love and compassion by her son 
Ted with the help of their publicist Angel Duke. Theirs is an anthem 
for all Americans, dedicated to our Armed Forces, to our men and women 
in uniform, risking their lives every day and for those who need to 
carry on in this time of crisis.
  The lyrics are powerful and uplifting: ``Our tears may fall and our 
hearts may be shattered, but deep down in our souls we are strong. We 
are proud. We are bold. We have the strength. We have the power no 
terrorist could withstand. We will not hide. We will not cower. We will 
stand up for the rights of our land. We are America. We are America, 
America, you are grand.''
  Please join me in congratulating Ann S. Miller and Ted Maliaris, two 
proud Americans, proud to be serving our country.
