                      Thursday, February 12, 2015

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Talan Lang. Talan 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 692, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Talan has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Talan 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, Talan has 
become a member of the Order of the Arrow and the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, 
while also serving his troop as Patrol Leader. Talan has also 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Talan 
picked up more than 100 bags of trash from the intersection of 
Interstate 70 and Adams Dairy Parkway in Blue Springs, Missouri. Talan 
also planted native grasses to beautify the intersection.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Talan Lang 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
