                       Tuesday, January 25, 2005

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize David Rall 
Bradley, 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 45, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout. Rall is currently a senior at Pembroke Hill in 
Kansas City, and is the son of David Bradley, Jr. and Suzanne Bradley 
of Saint Joseph, Missouri.
  Rall has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Rall started as a Tiger Cub Scout, and then rose through 
the Boy Scout ranks of Tenderfoot, Second Class Scout, First Class 
Scout, Star Scout, Life Scout, and now Eagle Scout. Along the way, Rall 
earned 23 merit badges, and several scouting awards such as the Arrow 
of Light Award and the 50 Miler Award, which he received following an 
Adventure Trip to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado. Rall was inducted 
into the Honorary Tribe of Mic-O-Say, and also has served as Historian 
and Quartermaster of his troop.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Rall led a team of scouts in association 
with the Saint Joseph Museum and the Missouri Department of 
Conservation to preserve Mount Mora Cemetery in Saint Joseph, an 
historical funeral park where Civil War Generals, Missouri Governors, 
and Pony Express Riders are buried. Mr. Speaker, it may please the 
House to know that Mount Mora's designer helped craft the plan for the 
Washington Monument here in our nation's capital.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending David Rall 
Bradley III, for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
