                          HON. KENNY MARCHANT

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 30, 2006

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize former Air Force 
Captain John M. Hayes for receiving The Silver Beaver Award, the 
highest award Boy Scouts Councils may grant to a volunteer. John is the 
Military and Veterans Affairs Liaison in my Irving, Texas, office.
  John's devotion to the Boy Scouts of America through the years makes 
him well-deserving of this award. He is a District Commissioner in the 
Circle Ten Council and, with his wife, Mary, chaired the Circle Ten 
Council POW WOW for 2 years. He has also taught POW WOW at the Boy 
Scouts' Philmont, New Mexico, Training Center for 4 years.
  A former Air Force combat pilot, he currently serves as the Senior 
Vice Commander of the Dallas Chapter of the Military Order of The World 
Wars. John is also very active in the Dallas Veterans Foundation. He 
will be a chairman for the Military Order of the World Wars sponsored 
Youth Leadership Conference in June in Fort Worth, Texas. The 
conference provides leadership and patriotic training for high school 
students.
  I congratulate John on this high honor from the Boy Scouts. This 
country thanks him for his dedicated service--both in the military and 
with the Boy Scouts of America. The 24th District of Texas benefits 
from having a man with such valuable experience and strong allegiance 
to his country serve them in my congressional office.
