  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Brian George 
Knop, 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 376, and in earning the most prestigious award 
of Eagle Scout.
  Brian has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the many years Brian has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Brian has served in the leadership positions of Chaplains Aide and 
Quartermaster, among others. He is a Brotherhood member of Order of the 
Arrow and a Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. For his Eagle Scout 
project, Brian planned and supervised the landscaping of the front side 
of the Liberty United Methodist Church in Liberty, Missouri.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Brian George 
Knop for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
