  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Daniel J. Gilbert. Daniel 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 865, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Daniel has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Daniel 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, Daniel has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, has become an 
Ordeal Member of the Order of the Arrow, and earned the Ad Altari Dei 
religious award. Daniel has also contributed to his community through 
his Eagle Scout project. Daniel dismantled an old playground set, then 
expanded and mulched the playground area at the Hope House in Lee's 
Summit, Missouri, in order to prepare the site for a new playground.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Daniel J. 
Gilbert for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
