  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Parker Wrigley. Parker 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 1394, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Parker has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Parker has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned 34 merit badges, but also the respect 
of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Parker has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Parker 
raised funds for the purchase and installation of a monument sign for 
Hobby Hill Park in Gladstone, Missouri, in addition to providing 
landscaping and painting improvements to the park.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Parker 
Wrigley for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
