  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I am here today to recognize an 
exceptional 17-year-old, Josh Buffington, who positively impacts his 
community every day. He has been a Boy Scout since he was 5 years old 
and has accumulated around 300 hours in community service. He has 
volunteered for scout events and projects as well as for local 
churches. For his Eagle project he assisted in cleaning up Sacred Heart 
Cemetery in Cedarbrooke, New Jersey where he replaced the split rail 
fencing and installed grave markers. Aside from giving back to his 
community, Josh has played soccer since he was five years old and is 
also involved in the performing arts, starring in over a dozen plays. 
Josh is preparing to go off to college, and hopes to pursue a career in 
sports management. I had the honor of meeting Josh at his Eagle Scout 
Court of Honor earlier this month, and I wish him the best of luck with 
his future endeavors. God Bless Joshua and God Bless America.
