  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jacob C. 
Phillip Hochard. Jacob is 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 249, and 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. Most notably, Jacob has 
earned the rank of Fire Builder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Jacob has 
also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Jacob organized and coordinated the construction of a wooden planter 
box with evergreen shrubs and perennial flowers around the ``Welcome to 
Weston'' in Beverly, Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jacob C. 
Phillip Hochard for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
