  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Alexander Meyer Blackburn. Alexander 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 1393, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Alexander has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Alexander 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, Alexander 
has contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Alexander built a fire pit for Heartland Presbyterian Center, a 
conference and retreat facility in Parkville, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Alexander 
Meyer Blackburn for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
