“And I am proud to present you with the President’s Lifetime Achievement award in recognition of your 4000 hours of service to this great nation.
“By sharing your time and passion, you are helping discover and deliver solutions to the challenges we face—solutions that we need now more than ever.
“We are living in a moment that calls for hope, light, and love. Hope for our futures, light to see our way forward, and love for one another.
“Through your service, you are providing all three. On behalf of the American people, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to you for your volunteer leadership, and I encourage you to continue to answer the call to serve. The country is counting on you.”
