                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 11, 2015

  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Frank Nash 
from Ironton, Missouri for his academic success and service to our 
community.
  Frank has set a wonderful example of hard work and a dedication to 
serve others. Now an Eagle Scout, Frank has earned nine Eagle Palms 
since he started as a Tiger Cub with the Boy Scouts. For his Eagle 
Scout project, Frank built tables and chairs for senior adults at his 
church to use. He also built a flower box to decorate the First Baptist 
Church of Pilot Knob's sign.
  He is the salutatorian of his graduating class and has already earned 
more than 40 college credits through his high school's advanced 
placement program. He will be attending the University of Missouri-
Kansas City in the fall where he is interested in studying neurology.
  On April 1, Frank was notified that he was the sole recipient of the 
National Eagle Scout Association's $25,000 United Health Foundation 
college scholarship. This scholarship, which receives more than 5,000 
applications each year, is awarded to a student who plans to pursue a 
career in healthcare and is willing to reinvest their skills in an 
under-served community. Frank has also received scholarships from the 
Hagan Foundation and the Elks National Foundation. It comes as no 
surprise that his hard work, both in the community and the classroom, 
have paid off.
  Frank is a role model for all Missouri students and it is my pleasure 
to recognize his efforts and accomplishments before the House of 
Representatives.
