  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Joshua Thomas Gallo 
who has received the rank of Eagle Scout.
  Joshua is a very studious and civically minded young man who has 
accomplished many goals. He has volunteered at food banks and donated 
blood as part of his civic commitment. Joshua has also recently been 
accepted to several different colleges to study medicine, thereby 
demonstrating his academic prowess.
  Most recently, Joshua has earned the rank of Eagle Scout from troop 
213. For the last 6 months Joshua has prepared himself for this 
momentous achievement by serving as a Life Scout and he has also earned 
21 merit badges in fields such as: emergency preparedness, first aid, 
citizenship in community, citizenship in nation, citizenship in world, 
communications and environmental science.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Joshua Thomas Gallo for earning 
the distinguished rank of Eagle Scout. I honor his hard work and 
commitment in fulfilling the demanding requirements of this award. I 
wish him the best in his future endeavors.
