  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Jeffrey Alan Mackey, Jr. Jeffrey 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 1309, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Jeffrey has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jeffrey 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, Jeffrey has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and become a 
Brotherhood Member of the Order of the Arrow. Jeffrey has also 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Jeffrey 
coordinated the reconstruction of a large retaining wall in the 
resident's courtyard at the Excelsior Springs Convalescent Center in 
Excelsior Springs, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jeffrey Alan 
Mackey, Jr., for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
