                  OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT OF LUKE PAUN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JUAN CISCOMANI

                      Wednesday, January 10, 2024

  Mr. CISCOMANI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the 
outstanding achievement of Luke Paun, an exemplary young man from Boy 
Scout Troop 747 who recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.
  Becoming an Eagle Scout is no small feat; it requires undergoing a 
rigorous and comprehensive process that often takes up to a year. 
Luke's journey towards this rank has not only demonstrated his personal 
growth but also showcased strong characteristics of resilience, 
perseverance, and determination.
  Luke's Eagle Scout project was aimed at further recognizing the 
sacrifices made by recipients of the Purple Heart. Luke did so by 
making improvements and additions to Tucson's Purple Heart Park. He 
installed 11 trail marker signs along the path, each containing a quote 
or information relating to the Armed Forces. The signs also serve as a 
visible marker for distance traveled throughout the park. In addition 
to placing the trail markers, Luke added in many plants and helped 
landscape the yard. He then went on to add new gravel to the entrance 
of the park.
  Luke's dedication and hard work are commendable, and his commitment 
to Troop 747 and the community does not go unnoticed. We take pride in 
having this outstanding young individual in our district and encourage 
him to continue their exceptional work.
