  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize John ``Will'' 
Perkowski, 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 633, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  ``Will'' has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Will has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Will held the principal 
leadership position of Venturing Crew Secretary and has actively 
supported recreational therapy programs within regional hospitals. Will 
has donated over 100 man-hours of concert time through his chorus and 
barbershop quartet performances.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending John 
Perkowski for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
