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