  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Joseph Cardenas 
of Pearland, TX, for earning his Boy Scout Eagle Rank Award.
  Eagle Rank is the highest rank among Boy Scouts, requiring them to 
develop leadership, service and outdoor skills. To earn this 
distinguished award, Joseph had to achieve the Life Scout rank, earn 21 
merit badges, and complete a service project. Joseph's service project 
was developing a brick memorial for veterans of all branches of the 
military. Individual and personalized bricks were laid at the VFW 
Pearland Memorial Post 7109 in Pearland.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Joseph Cardenas for earning his Boy Scout 
Eagle Rank Award. We are confident he will have continued success in 
his future endeavors. We are very proud.
