  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Brett Christian Mason. Brett 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 247, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Brett has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Brett 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, Brett has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and become a 
Ordeal member of the Order of the Arrow. Brett has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Brett constructed two 
benches for a sitting area in the foyer at Gracemor Christian Church in 
Kansas City, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Brett 
Christian Mason for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
