  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, this month, I had the honor of attending 
Matthew Markee's Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony. Matthew graduated 
from Cape May County Technical High School and obtained his Eagle Scout 
ranking as a part of Troop 65 in Cape May Court House. For his Eagle 
Scout project, Matthew restored the Cape May County Park South pavilion 
in Villas, South Jersey. Before Matthew's project, the pavilion had 
paint peeling off and a leaking roof. To remedy the issue, Matthew 
removed the old tar paper and roof shingles from the pavilion and 
replaced them himself. He also painted and cleaned up the pavilion, 
restoring it to original condition. Matthew completed the repairs, 
gained the funding for the project, and recruited volunteers for the 
project on his own. He should be very proud of his service to South 
Jersey and Park South, and I wish him the best of luck in his future 
endeavors. God Bless Matthew, and God Bless our United States of 
America.
