   1-18  in all of his endeavors; and
   1-19        WHEREAS, He also has exhibited the leadership, perseverance,
   1-20  and dedication to community service that are the hallmark of an

   1-22  project that will provide a lasting benefit to the community, he
   1-23  completed the final requirements for his acceptance into the ranks
   1-24  of the Eagle Scouts; and

    2-3  been a continuing source of great pride for his parents and an
    2-4  inspirational example to his fellow scouts in Post 113, and it
    2-5  gives the members of this body great pleasure to join them and all
