  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
John Gibson. John 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 96, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   John has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years John 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, John has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. John 
organized and led a blood drive at the Church of Jesus Christ of 
Latter-Day Saints in Gallatin, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending John Gibson 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
