  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
David Dominick Costanzo. David 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 271, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  David has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years David 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, David has 
become a member of the Order of the Arrow and joined the Tribe of Mic-
O-Say. David has also contributed to his community through his Eagle 
Scout project. David renovated his council ring at Gashland United 
Methodist Church in Kansas City, Missouri, by removing weeds and 
overgrown vegetation, laying down weed fabric and overlaid it all with 
ornamental gravel.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending David 
Dominick Costanzo for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of 
America and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest 
distinction of Eagle Scout.
