  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Daniel Francis Burke. Daniel 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 397, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Daniel has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Daniel 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, Daniel has 
earned the rank of Senior Patrol Leader. Daniel has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Daniel designed and 
constructed an open shelter for Jesse James Park in Kearney, Missouri, 
a task that included many long weekends this past fall.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Daniel 
Francis Burke for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
