  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Aaron Joel Laughlin. Aaron 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.
   Aaron has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Aaron 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, Aaron has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Aaron 
organized, procured funding for and oversaw the construction of a 
sidewalk between the Macon Senior Citizen Housing and the Wal-Mart and 
C&R Supermarket in Macon, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Aaron Joel 
Laughlin for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
