  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Kenneth 
Lehman, 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 397, and by earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Kenneth has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the years Kenneth has been involved in scouting, 
he has earned 40 merit badges and held numerous leadership positions, 
serving as Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, OATR, Assistant 
Senior Patrol Leader, and is currently the Senior Patrol Leader. In 
2006, Kenneth carried on the family tribal name started by his 
Grandfather Russell Lehman by becoming Brave Young Sure Footed Running 
Elk in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Kenneth is also a Brotherhood member in 
the Order of the Arrow. Kenneth has earned the God and Life Award.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Kenneth planted 15 Northern Red Oak 
trees in front of and around Westbrook Care Center.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Kenneth 
Lehman for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
