  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Sean A. Wood, 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 67, and in earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Sean has been very active with his troop, participating in such scout 
activities as Camp Geiger. Over the five years he has been involved in 
scouting, he has held numerous leadership positions, serving as 
Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader, 
Troop Guide, and Den Chief.

Sean also has been honored for his numerous scouting achievements with 
such awards as Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, Brave in the Tribe of 
Mic-O-Say and Fire Builder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Additionally, 
Sean has earned 31 Merit Badges.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Sean removed an existing concrete 
sidewalk outside of the Gallatin Fire Station and replaced it with a 
concrete ramp, two handicap parking spaces, a steel ramp for the 
railing, a new door and two handicapped signs.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Sean A. Wood 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
