  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, this August, I had the 
pleasure of attending Thomas Tran's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Thomas 
has been actively involved in the Scouts since the third grade when he 
joined as a cub scout. He quickly climbed the ranks and became an 
active member of Troop 94, leading the group as their Patrol Leader. 
Since then, he has earned an impressive 28 merit badges for his hard 
work and dedication. The proudest moment of Thomas's Scouting journey 
was his Eagle Scout project where Thomas organized the removal and 
replacement of an old billboard welcome sign at the Veterans of Foreign 
Wars Post 8098 in Egg Harbor Township. This massive undertaking 
demanded 130 hours of his time and the South Jersey community is 
thankful for his efforts. God Bless Thomas Tran and God Bless the 
United States of America.
