RECOGNIZING ROBERT WILSON'S EAGLE SCOUT ACHIEVEMENT
(Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I recognize Robert Wilson on his
achievement of the rank of Eagle Scout.
Robert is with Troop 4 in Millville in southern New Jersey.
Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of
America. It is a prestigious honor bestowed upon only the most worthy
and the most qualified individuals. Only 4 percent of all Boy Scouts
ever achieve this prestigious recognition. Eagle Scouts are likely to
dedicate their lives to service, becoming future leaders in industry,
politics, the military.
My office was proud to be at Robert's ceremony to celebrate his
achievement earlier this week with his scout leader, Lou Charlesworth.
I am proud of your accomplishments, Robert, and I am looking forward
to big things in the future from you.
Some people look for heroes with celebrities, God help them. Some
look in Washington, God help them, too. My hero is Robert.
God bless you and your family, Robert.
