  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Tyler W. Shipman. Tyler 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 249, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Tyler has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Tyler 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, Tyler has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Tyler 
performed needed work on the landscaping of the front office building 
at Weston Bend State Park near Weston, Missouri, adding decorative rock 
around the building and flagpole while also painting the railings and 
posts at the main gate.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Tyler W. 
Shipman for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
