                      TRIBUTE TO NICHOLAS MITCHELL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, February 2, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Nicholas Mitchell, of Clive, Iowa and a member of Boy 
Scout Troop 182 for attaining the rank of Eagle Scout.
  To earn the Eagle Scout rank, a Boy Scout is obligated to demonstrate 
how they live out the Scout Spirit in their life, to serve as a leader 
in their troop, earn a total of 21 merit badges, and, finally, to 
complete an Eagle Scout Project to benefit the community. For his 
project, Nicholas raised the necessary funds and materials needed to 
build a storage shed for the Waukee post of the VFW. The work ethic 
Cole has shown in his Eagle Scout Project and throughout his scouting 
career speaks volumes about his commitment to serving a cause greater 
than himself and bettering his community.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by this young man and his supportive 
family and community demonstrates the rewards of hard work, dedication, 
and perseverance. I am honored to represent Nicholas and his family in 
the United States Congress. I ask that all of my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives to join me in congratulating him 
on obtaining the Eagle Scout ranking and in wishing him nothing but 
continued success in his future education and career.

                          ____________________
