  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Joshua 
Abernathy, 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 264, 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.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joshua 
Abernathy for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
