  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Christian G. 
Folsom. Christian 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 in both Troops 9 and 271, and earning the 
most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Christian has been very active with his troops, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Christian 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, Christian 
has contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Christian planned and built five parking bollards with handicap signs 
to protect children playing in the First United Methodist Church of 
North Kansas City's playground.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Christian 
G. Folsom for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
