  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, this past December, I had the honor of 
celebrating Nicholas Grusemeyer on his achievement of the prestigious 
rank of Eagle Scout. Throughout his scouting journey, Nicholas has 
gained invaluable life skills, and as he puts it, ``there was never a 
dull moment.'' For his Eagle Scout Project, he undertook the task of 
constructing a Memorial Wall inside the engine bay of the Quinton Fire 
Company in Quinton, South Jersey. This wall holds profound symbolism, 
featuring the original bell from one of the first fire engines, stars 
from an old hose used by Quinton, and a list of the names of past 
members of the fire company. It stands as a lasting tribute to the 
bravery and dedication of those who have served their community. 
Looking ahead, Nicholas has plans to graduate from high school and 
pursue a career in the Fire Service, a path that reflects his deep 
commitment to public safety and his desire to give back to the 
community that he has served as a scout. This outstanding young scout 
has set a high standard for us all to aspire to and it was an honor to 
celebrate him. God Bless Nicholas and God Bless the United States of 
America.
