  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Charles Alexander Velazquez. Alex 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 43, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Alex has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Alex 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, Alex has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Alex 
installed a 20 foot flagpole for the St. Joseph Youth Soccer 
Association in St. Joseph, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Charles 
Alexander Velazquez for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of 
America and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest 
distinction of Eagle Scout.
