  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Reed Patrick 
Heim. Reed is 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, Heart of America Council Troop 351, and earning 
the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Reed has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the five years Reed 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, Reed has earned the 
rank of Brave in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and became a Brotherhood member 
in the Order of the Arrow. Reed has also contributed to his community 
through his Eagle Scout project. Reed completed renovation projects at 
Benner Park in Weston, MO, by installing landscaping at the front 
entrance, constructing a sand pit for the toy excavator, and placing 
approximately forty cubic yards of mulch at the playground.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Reed 
Patrick Heim for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
