  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Parker Long, 
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 444, and by earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Parker has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the years Parker has been involved in scouting, 
he has earned 30 merit badges and held numerous leadership positions, 
serving as Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, and Senior Patrol 
Leader. Parker is also a member of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and will 
become a Warrior this summer.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Parker constructed a new fire pit at the 
Parkhill Christian Church in Kansas City, Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Parker Long 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
