On the recordJuly 23, 2019
Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the American Taekwondo Association and the roughly 20,000 people who gathered in Little Rock for the 2019 Worlds ATA Martial Arts competition just last week. ATA is celebrating its golden anniversary this year with 50 years of international training. This organization was founded in 1969 and relocated to Little Rock in 1977, citing similarities between the State's landscape and that of South Korea. My friend, Mrs. Sun Cha Lee, is the chairman of the board for ATA Martial Arts and is committed to changing lives through martial arts and her philanthropy. As a fellow member of the Rotary Club of Little Rock, Mrs. Lee embodies the motto of ``service above self'' and continues to lead their scholarship foundation that has provided over $1 million to deserving students. Mrs. Lee and ATA's cultural addition to Little Rock's story has made and indelible impact on Arkansas citizens and communities. I would like to extend gratitude and congratulations to Mrs. Lee on reaching this memorable milestone. I wish her and all of ATA much continued success for generations to come. Eagle Bank Anniversary
