  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize

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.
   Anthony has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Anthony 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, Anthony has 
earned the rank of Tom-Tom Beater in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Anthony 
has also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Anthony redesigned the trailer for the Blue Springs High School 
marching band, including the welding, fabricating and assembly of the 
parts needed to properly protect the instruments during transportation.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Anthony
