Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Benjamin Kreeger of Kearney, Missouri, 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 397, and in earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.

Ben has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout activities. Over the ten years Ben has been involved with scouting, he has held numerous leadership positions, serving as Den Chief, Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, and Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. Ben attended H. Roe Bartle Camp for four years, becoming a member of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. He was elected to the Order of the Arrow in 2000, Ordeal in 2000, and Brotherhood in 2001.

For his Eagle Scout project, Ben painted all of Kearney's fire hydrants north of Highway 92; he painted the 69 hydrants fire safety yellow.

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