On the recordJune 24, 2008
from our darkest trials, Americans consistently display their true heroism. The horrible events on the night of June 11 were no different. No one is surprised to learn that the Scouts themselves displayed leadership skills and composure in the face of danger above and beyond their years. Had these courageous young men not lived up to their motto, ``Always Be Prepared,'' it is likely that this tragedy would have been magnified. I pray that all involved with Scouting will be inspired by the examples of the Scouting community shown through this tragedy, and that our benevolent God grant a sense of peace to all those affected by the tragedy. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support the passage of H. Res. 1263. I yield back the balance of my time.
