                 RECOGNIZING EAGLE SCOUT MICHAEL BRYAN

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful for the opportunity to honor 
an outstanding member of south Jersey. Over the weekend, Michael Bryan 
of Dennis Township, New Jersey, achieved the great honor of being 
raised to Eagle Scout. Michael is a member of the National Honor 
Society and, for his Eagle Scout project, acquired the skills to weld a 
stand for an American World War II plane propeller that was pulled out 
of the Atlantic Ocean. It honors the 42 servicemembers who perished 
during training at NAS Wildwood.
  Michael plans to follow in the footsteps of his father and his 
grandfather and enroll in the Coast Guard to bravely serve and defend 
our country.
  We are all looking for heroes. Some look to celebrities. Some look to 
Washington, God help them. But I look to men like Michael Bryan who 
make a difference in their community. He is south Jersey's hero. He is 
an American hero.
