  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize

exemplified the finest qualities of citizenship and leadership by 
taking an active part in the Boy Scouts of America, Troop 312, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.

  Joseph has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Joseph has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Joseph has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and a four-
year Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship to the 
University of Missouri-Columbia. Joseph has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Joseph planted landscaping, 
painted fire lanes and refurbished the flag pole at Lutheran High 
School of Kansas City, Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joseph Paul 
Homan for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
