  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Ryan Jacob Roberts. Ryan 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 1180, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Ryan has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the many years Ryan 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, Ryan has contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Ryan designed and 
constructed a picnic area in the Kansas City, Missouri Police 
Department's Trail of Heroes park, as a place of significant importance 
to Ryan as both his father and brother are Kansas City Police officers.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Ryan Jacob 
Roberts for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
