  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Grant Alvin Bergman. Grant 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 247, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Grant has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Grant 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, Grant has 
earned the rank of Brave in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and became a 
Brotherhood Member of the Order of the Arrow. Grant has also 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Grant 
constructed two animal-accessible benches for the Kansas City Pet 
Project, to be used by staff and volunteers as well as a meet-and-greet 
area for potential adopting families.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Grant Alvin 
Bergman for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
