                         Friday, April 4, 2014

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to pay special tribute to a group of young people in my 
Congressional district from Heflin, Alabama. These boys and girls, the 
Heflin Taekwondo Tiger Pride Demo Team, recently traveled to Jackson, 
Mississippi to compete in a National Taekwondo competition. They were 
awarded with the 2014 Taekwondo United Demo Team National Championship, 
the highest honor.
  The Tiger Pride team consists of 14 kids that range in age from 8 to 
15. These students have shown tremendous dedication as they have 
practiced over the past 10 months to perfect a six-minute routine they 
performed at the competition. The Tiger Pride team competed against 
four other teams from California, Texas, Louisiana and North Carolina.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating this team for their 
extraordinary efforts that led to their National Championship title.
