  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Braden Tonks. Braden 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 135, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Braden has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Braden 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, Braden has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project.
   Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Braden 
Tonks for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
