  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Tyler Scott Koch. 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 303, 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 
attended Philmont Scout Reservation in 2012 and earned the rank of 
Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Tyler has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Tyler constructed a bridge 
for the Platte Falls Conservation Area in Platte County, Missouri.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Tyler Scott 
Koch for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
