  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Christopher Brizendine. Christopher 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 214, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Christopher has been very active with his troop, participating in 
many scout activities. Over the many years Christopher has been 
involved with scouting, he has not only earned 34 merit badges, but 
also the respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, 
Christopher has contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout 
project. Christopher researched and reconstructed sheep feeders at 
Watkins Mill State Park in Lawson, Missouri, to be used during 
historical reenactments at the historic site.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Christopher 
Brizendine for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
