  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Eric Shupe of 
Independence, Missouri, 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 82, and in earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Eric has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Eric has been involved with scouting, 
he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but the respect of his 
family, peers, and community.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Eric Shupe 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
