  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Charles Alexander Velazquez. Alex 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 43, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Alex has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Alex 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, Alex has contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Alex installed a 20 foot 
flagpole for the St. Joseph Youth Soccer Association in St. Joseph, 
Missouri.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Charles 
Alexander Velazquez for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of 
America and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest 
distinction of Eagle Scout.
