  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Alan Robert Wilkin. Alan 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, Troop 397, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Alan has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Alan 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, Alan has earned the 
rank of Assistant Patrol Leader. Alan has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Alan helped record names and 
other information for Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Kearney, Missouri in an 
effort to help genealogists and locate one particular lost plot for the 
trustees.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Alan Robert 
Wilkin for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle
