                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 23, 2010

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize three 
outstanding young men from Montross, Virginia who have exhibited the 
finest qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part 
in Troop 252 of the Boy Scouts of America and earning the prestigious 
title of Eagle Scout. Each of the scouts selflessly dedicated his time 
and resources to benefit the surrounding community, and they are all 
fine representatives of my hometown.
  Murphy Bailey, a 2009 graduate of Washington and Lee High School, 
used his Eagle Scout project to help the citizens of nearby Kinsale, 
Virginia, pouring concrete bases and building picnic tables to enhance 
visitors' experiences in the town park. Murphy is currently farming in 
Westmoreland County.
  Trent Jones, a recent graduate of Washington and Lee High School, 
rebuilt a dilapidated fence at Beulah Baptist Church in Lyelles, 
Virginia. Trent raised the project funds, formulated a budget, and 
managed the workers who assisted in the fence's reconstruction. Trent 
plans to attend Virginia Tech in the fall.
  G. E. ``Bubby'' Miles, also a recent graduate of Washington and Lee 
High School, volunteered a considerable amount of his time at the Cople 
District Fire Department in Coles Point. Bubby plans to attend college 
in the fall.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Murphy 
Bailey, Trent Jones, and Bubby Miles for their accomplishments with the 
Boy Scouts of America and for the efforts each of them put forth in 
achieving the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout.
