Honored
Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award
I am humbled and honored beyond words.
I have been nominated for and received the "The Presidents Lifetime Achievement Award" for a "lifelong commitment to building a stronger nation through volunteer service." Signed by "President Joseph R. Biden Jr."
"The President's Volunteer Service Award is to honor people across America that have volunteered hundreds, if not thousands of volunteer hours over their lifetime. The program was established to honor the volunteer works of individuals, families and organizations throughout the United States.
The current program is called the President's Volunteer Service Award and was created by President George W. Bush in 2002. He made this program known during his State of the Union address.
In January 2003, President George W. Bush created an executive order that created the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation. The council was established to recognize the important contributions Americans of all ages are making within their communities through service and civic engagement.
The program has two award types (individual and family) and four award levels (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Lifetime Achievement), with required hours varying by age range of the recipient for the Bronze, Silver, and Gold level awards. The Lifetime Achievement award requires a minimum of 4,000 hours of documented volunteer service."
