  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, last month, I had the pleasure of 
attending Thomas van der Molen's Eagle Court of Honor. For his Eagle 
Scout Project, Thomas designed and installed a paved walk path to 
connect the entrance to the gazebo with the community gardens. The red 
bricks that compose the walk path were all hand laid and will be 
enjoyed for years to come. This new walk path will greatly impact the 
accessibility of the community gardens for those who have mobility 
impairments and our elderly. Thomas was able to complete this project 
with the help of his troop, sponsorships from Home Depot and Atlantic 
Masonry, and his family. Thomas' dedication to this project will give 
more people the ability to access the gardens and he should be proud of 
his accomplishments. God Bless Thomas and God Bless America.
