  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Joshua West 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 249, and in earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Joshua has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Joshua has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joshua West
