  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Jacob Matthew Pearson. Jacob 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 374, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Jacob has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jacob 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, Jacob has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Jacob 
constructed a brick patio under an existing bench and pavilion in the 
playground at First Presbyterian Church of Liberty, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jacob 
Matthew Pearson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
