“I would like to recognize Caleb Schumacher on the enormous feat of making Eagle Scout. I was proud to join Caleb and his family this past weekend in Ocean City. Caleb's Eagle Scout project was a flag drop box so that flags can be disposed of properly. Caleb's grandfather, who served as a sergeant in the Army in the Korean war, was the inspiration for this project. Caleb plans to become a computer engineer, and I know his intelligence and his drive will push him to accomplish anything he puts to his mind. Mr. Speaker, I am so very proud of Caleb. I know his mom, dad, and sisters are proud of him as well. His leadership skills and work ethic will serve him well, and I know he is destined for great things in life. Some folks look to movie stars or, heaven forbid, politicians as their idols. I always look to people like Caleb. He inspires me. Caleb, God bless you and your family, and God bless America. ____________________”
