  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Ryan Soendker 
of Blue Springs, MO, 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 138, and in earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Ryan has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the many years Ryan has been involved with Scouting, 
he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but the respect of his 
family, peers, and community.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Ryan Soendker 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
