  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Seth Cox, a 
very special young man who has exemplified the finest qualities of 
citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the Boy Scouts 
of America, Troop 99, and in earning the most prestigious award of 
eagle scout.
  Seth has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the five years he has been involved in scouting, he 
has earned 30 merit badges. Additionally, Seth has held numerous 
leadership positions in his troop, serving as Assistant Patrol Leader, 
Patrol Leader, Scribe, Chaplain, Troop Guide, and Junior Assistant 
Scout Master. Seth also has been honored for his numerous scouting 
achievements with such awards as the little paper image and the runner 
in the tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Seth built and installed playground 
equipment at the First Christian Church.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Seth Cox for 
his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts 
put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
