                      Wednesday, December 10, 2014

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
John C. Manka. John 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 412, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   John has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years John 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, John has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. John 
worked with the United States Army Corps of Engineers to provide five 
additional handicap-accessible deer blinds for organized hunts at 
Smithville Lake.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in commending John C. Manka for 
his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts 
put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
