                         Thursday, July 9, 2009

  Mr. ROE of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area on their play ``Liberty!'' being 
recognized by the Tennessee General Assembly as the official outdoor 
drama of the State of Tennessee.
  ``Liberty!'' has been performed annually during the month of July for 
31 consecutive years. ``Liberty!'' tells the story of Tennessee's 
frontier beginnings by portraying the relationships between the 
American settlers and the native Cherokee Indians.
  Hundreds of gifted local volunteers come together at the location 
where these historic events actually occurred and celebrate the lives 
of the people and depict important episodes that helped shape the 
heritage of this great state and country.
  I want to congratulate and sincerely thank all of the volunteers that 
contribute their time and efforts to ``Liberty!'' for honoring our 
great state of Tennessee.
