  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Josh Gilliland. Josh is a very special young man who has exemplified 
the finest qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active 
part in the Royal Rangers and earning the most prestigious award of the 
Gold Medal of Achievement.
   Josh has taken an active part with the Royal Rangers through his 
church, Blue Springs Assembly in Blue Springs, Missouri. The Royal 
Rangers provide young men the character development and leadership 
formation needed to thrive in today's world. Attaining the Gold Medal 
of Achievement demonstrates Josh's dedication and commitment to the 
Royal Rangers. I am sure that Josh will continue to hold such high 
standards in the future.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Josh
