HON. SAM GRAVES

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2004

Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Justin Bearden, 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 65, and in earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.

Justin has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout activities. Over the 9 years Justin has been involved with scouting, he has earned 28 merit badges and has held numerous leadership positions, serving as patrol leader, assistant patrol leader, and troop guide. Justin has also been inducted into the Order of the Arrow as an Ordeal member.

Justin's Eagle Scout project was the restoration of the exterior of the Patterson Assembly of God Parsonage.

Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Justin Bearden for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
