  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Joshua D. McPherson. Josh 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 444, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Josh has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Josh 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, Josh has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Josh 
installed a bench and placed landscaping rock at Park Hill Christian 
Church in Kansas City, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joshua D. 
McPherson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle
