  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jay Robert 
Curless III. Jay 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 332, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Jay has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Jay 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, Jay has contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Jay planned and constructed 
a bed rail system that allows with disabilities to use the camp cabins 
at the Rotary Youth Camp in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Jay also plans to 
complete his college education and enlist as an officer in the United 
States Navy
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jay Robert 
Curless III for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
