                  HONORING U.S. MARSHAL AWARD WINNERS

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise this morning to honor two 
exceptional people honored recently by the director of the United 
States Marshal Service. They are two of four honored nationwide.
  Mike Blevins, the chief deputy marshal for the Western District of 
Arkansas, has been awarded the Meritorious Service Award, recognizing 
his exemplary service to the Marshal Service the last 31 years. Mike is 
a great example for all of us, and I greatly appreciate his service to 
community and country.
  Trent Thompson, an Eagle Scout, was also named Citizen of the Year by 
the service. Thompson's Eagle Scout project was making wood memorial 
markers honoring deputy marshals from the Western District who fell in 
the line of duty since its inception. Trent is a fine young man, and I 
appreciate his leadership at such a young age.
  I congratulate both of these people who by example indeed have done 
so much for the people of the Third District of Arkansas, and I 
congratulate them for their honors.
