  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Tyler Joseph 
VanVacter, 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 270, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Tyler has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the years Tyler has been involved with scouting, 
he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the respect of 
his family, peers, and community.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Tyler 
Joseph VanVacter for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
