  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Vincent M. 
Couldry, a very special young man who has exemplified the finest 
qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, Troop 60, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Vincent has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the 9 years Vincent has been involved with 
Scouting, he has earned over 60 merit badges and has held numerous 
leadership positions, serving as patrol leader, chaplain, 
quartermaster, and Cub Scout leader. Vincent had been involved with the 
Tribe of Mic-O-Say for 3 years and is in the Warrior Class.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Vincent landscaped an area around 
Savannah High School and Savannah City Tennis Courts in Savannah, 
Missouri. With the assistance of 22 other Scouts and leaders, Vincent 
planned, gathered the needed materials, and mulched 78 trees.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Vincent M. 
Couldry for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
