  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Nathan Olson, 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 214 and in earning the most prestigious award of Eagle 
Scout.
  Nathan has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities and earning 30 merit badges. Nathan is an Ordeal 
member in the Order of the Arrow Camping Honorary and is a Warrior in 
the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Nathan supervised the pouring of a 
concrete slab foundation for the bleachers at St. James Catholic Church 
baseball field. In addition, he supervised the pouring of two 
additional slabs for players and coaches to stand behind the backstop.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Nathan Olson 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
