  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Mladen Kojic, 
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 9, and by earning the most prestigious award of Eagle 
Scout.
  Mladen has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the years Mladen has been involved in Scouting, 
he has earned 34 merit badges and held numerous leadership positions, 
serving as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Librarian, Assistant Patrol 
Leader, Chaplain's Aide and Quartermaster. Mladen is also a Firebuilder 
in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Mladen poured a concrete slab sidewalk 
and landing area in front of the Methodist church's new elevator 
entrance in North Kansas City, MO. Mladen has also earned several 
special awards, including the 50 Mile Award and World Conservation 
Badge.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Mladen 
Kojic for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
