  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Skyler Evan Thomas. Skyler 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 81, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Skyler has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Skyler 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, Skyler has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Skyler 
did painting and remodeling work at Macon Diversified Industries, the 
home of the local sheltered workshop for those with developmental 
disabilities, in Macon, Missouri.
