  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Joey 
Saunders, 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 357, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Joey has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Joey has been involved with scouting, 
he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the respect of 
his family, peers, and community. It is with extreme pleasure that I 
commend the dedication Joey has shown.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joey for 
his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts 
put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout. I am 
proud to represent Joey in the U.S. House of Representatives.
