  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I want to recognize Matthew Paulson who 
recently passed his Eagle Board of Review to become an Eagle Scout. 
Matthew graduated from Cumberland Christian School in Vineland, South 
Jersey where he was a four-sport starting senior for basketball, 
baseball, soccer, and track. He was also a National Honor Society 
member and plans to attend Rowan University in the business management 
program. He is also very involved in his church where he volunteers as 
the leader of the church's technology crew. For Matthew's Eagle Scout 
project, he completed a playground restoration for Cumberland Christian 
School. He recruited and supervised 34 workers for over 265 hours to 
complete the project. Students at the school have had the opportunity 
to enjoy the playground renovation because of Matthew's willingness to 
make a difference for his community. Matthew is a born leader, as he 
served as his troop's patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader, 
chaplain's aide, quartermaster, and troop guide. God Bless Matthew and 
all he has done for his community and God Bless America.
