  Mr. GRAVES. Madam, Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jeremy 
Christian Tyler Cruz, 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.
  Jeremy has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the years Jeremy has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Jeremy's dedication to his community is outstanding. He has received 
the World Conservation Award, the 12 Month Camper Award (four times), 
the 100 Nights Camper Award, and also planned and supervised the 
expansion of the main picnic shelter at Martha Lafite Thompson Nature 
Sanctuary in Liberty, Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jeremy

America and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest
