                      RECOGNIZING ROBERT CORCORAN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. JEFFERSON VAN DREW

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 15, 2025

  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, one of the most commendable milestones a 
young man can reach is earning the rank of Eagle Scout. This past 
weekend, I had the distinct honor of congratulating Robert Corcoran on 
achieving this prestigious award. Robert's journey began in 2012 when 
he earned his first Cub Scout rank of Bobcat. Over the past decade, 
through dedication, perseverance, and strong character, he climbed the 
ranks and ultimately attained the highest honor of Eagle Scout. Along 
the way, Robert earned 34 merit badges, including the Light of Christ 
Award, a testament to his deep and abiding faith in our Lord and 
Savior, Jesus Christ. For his Eagle Scout project, Robert demonstrated 
compassion and creativity by upcycling 31 insulated coolers into feral 
cat shelters. These shelters were distributed through the Homeward 
Bound Pet Adoption Center, providing warmth and protection to South 
Jersey's stray cat population during the harsh winter months. I 
congratulate Robert on this remarkable achievement. With his unwavering 
faith, tireless work ethic, and heart for service, there is no doubt in 
my mind, he will thrive in all his future endeavors. God bless Robert 
and God bless our United States of America, the greatest country on the 
face of the Earth.
