Madam Speaker, big things are happening in the small cow town of Medora, North Dakota. The famed Medora Musical, also known as the Greatest Show in the West, is celebrating 50 years of entertaining and inspiring visitors while paying tribute to American values like family, patriotism, and faith in God, and, of course, the legacies of Theodore Roosevelt and Harold Schafer. Medora serves as the gateway to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, named for the city slicker turned cowboy who ranched the Badlands of Dakota Territory before going back East, refreshed and restored, to accomplish big things. Madam Speaker, tonight, I am thankful that God gave us the Badlands and Theodore Roosevelt and that he gave a dream to Harold Schafer and that, today, the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation keeps that dream alive in beautiful Medora, North Dakota. ____________________
