  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Timothy M. Matthews. Tim 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 28, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Tim has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Tim 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, Tim contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Tim planned and constructed 
a flag pole for all veterans of the United States military and to honor 
their service and sacrifice.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Timothy M. 
Matthews for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
