“I congratulate you on taking it upon yourself to contribute to the public good, and I’m proud to present you with the President’s Lifetime Achievement award in recognition of your 5,400 hours of service to this great nation”, said Biden.
“Throughout our country’s history, the American story has been strengthened by those who combine optimism about what can be done with the resilience that turns vision into reality. By sharing your time and passion, you are helping to discover and deliver solutions to the challenges we face – solutions that we need now more than ever.”
