  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Michael 
Reynolds, 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, and in earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Michael has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the years Michael has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Michael's dedication to his school work and church are outstanding. 
Michael works hard in school, while he remains involved with his church 
where he is the second assistant to the President of the Priest's 
quorum. Michael has also contributed significantly to the community, 
through his planning and organization of a food drive that collected 
more than 600 non-perishable food items for donation to the local food 
pantry.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Michael 
Reynolds for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
