                       Tuesday, February 27, 2007

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Will David 
Morris, 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 374, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Will has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the years Will has been involved with Scouting, he has 
not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the respect of his 
family, peers, and community.
  Will's dedication to his school work and church are outstanding. Will 
works hard in school, while being an active member of the Liberty 
United Methodist Church, where he plays guitar in ``Decided,'' the 
youth praise band, sings in the JAM youth choir and participates in 
Sunday school and the evening youth group. Will has also contributed 
significantly to the community, by leading a group of Scouts, friends, 
and adults in landscaping the Outdoor Worship Center at Liberty United 
Methodist Church. Will and his crew planted more than a dozen low-
maintenance bushes and shrubs.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Will David 
Morris for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
