  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Nathan Jay Chaloupka. Nathan 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.
  Nathan has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Nathan 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, Nathan has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Nathan 
designed and built an outdoor prayer and meditation area for the First 
United Methodist Church of Kearney.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Nathan Jay 
Chaloupka for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
