  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Lukas James Erickson. Lukas 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 75, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Lukas has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Lukas 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, Lukas has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Lukas 
designed and constructed a privacy picket fence and rebuilt two long 
planter boxes at the outdoor classroom of Eugene Field Elementary in 
Maryville, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Lukas James 
Erickson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
