  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jason Thomas 
Hanser, 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 66, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Jason has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the 7 years Jason has been involved with 
Scouting, he has earned 37 merit badges and has held numerous 
leadership positions, serving as assistant senior patrol leader, patrol 
leader, librarian, and assistant scoutmaster in Troop 66. Jason is also 
a Brave in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Jason identified and mapped out the 
location of all veterans buried in the cemetery in Plattsburg, 
Missouri. He identified over 350 veterans dating back to the Civil War. 
His project aided the American Legion in placing flags on Memorial Day.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jason Thomas 
Hanser for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
