  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Luke J. 
Gilbert, 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 865 and earning the most prestigious award 
of Eagle Scout.
  Luke has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the many years Luke 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 Luke J. 
Gilbert for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle
