I am pleased that all of the delegation of Indiana has come to the floor to speak on behalf of this worthy resolution. Tony Dungy, if you don't mind, I will single him out, exhibits the kind of character that we would all like our men to exhibit. Young men, who were jumping up and down at the Colts Super Bowl, can learn so much about how far you get in this world by displaying strength, by displaying honesty and integrity and loving the Lord. That is what Tony Dungy does. He belongs to Northside New Era Church in Indianapolis, which is a little church on a hill. It is not a big, palatial church that swings around city blocks; just a little church on a hill. And the members there love him. And I notice that he took many of the young people from Northside New Era to Miami, which was an experience that they will never replicate. So I want to thank the Dungy family. His wife, when the church has an event, she is right there with her little apron on cooking, too. So it shows you that you can't think too highly of yourself. And Tony Dungy certainly doesn't do that. He thinks highly of the Lord and of all the people that he serves. And I am just happy that I lived long enough to see this major event happen on behalf of the district that I represent.
