  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Andrew Michael 
Grace, 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 376, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Andrew has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the many years Andrew has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Andrew has served in the leadership positions of den chief, patrol 
leader, and troop guide, among others. He served on the staff of the H. 
Roe Bartle Scout Reservation in the summers of 2004 and 2005, while 
being elevated to runner in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. For his Eagle Scout 
project, Andrew planned and supervised the renovation of railings, lamp 
posts, and light fixtures at the Second Baptist Church in Liberty, MO.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Andrew 
Michael Grace for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
