  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Jeremy Phillip Thon. Jeremy 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 376, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Jeremy has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jeremy 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, Jeremy has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and became an 
Ordeal Member of the Order of the Arrow. Jeremy has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Jeremy designed and 
supervised the construction of a handicap-accessible deer blind and 
nature viewing stand at Smithville Lake, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jeremy 
Phillip Thon for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
