  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Thomas 
Williams, 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 633, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Thomas has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Thomas has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Thomas held the principal 
leadership position of Venturing Crew Treasurer and has actively 
supported VFW Post 7356 in Parkville, Missouri.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Thomas 
Williams for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
