  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
David Garcia. David 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 1376, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   David has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years David 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, David has 
become an Ordeal Member of the Order of the Arrow and earned the rank 
of Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. David has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. David coordinated with the 
Liberty Parks and Recreation department and planted 83 native Missouri 
plants at the Rush Creek Parkway roundabout near Liberty Hospital in 
Liberty, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending David Garcia 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
