11/17/2011 - ROYAL AIR FORCE MILDENHALL, England -- Not all volunteers feel that their contribution makes a difference but there's a teenager on Royal Air Force Mildenhall who proved that giving just a little here and there becomes a lot. And he recently learned that it doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated.
Jared Taylor, 15, son of Kathy and Chief Master Sgt. Bernard Taylor, 100th Communications Squadron, earned the gold, silver and bronze Presidential Volunteer Service Awards (PVSA) in the young adults' category.
He earned the awards for contributing more than 260 volunteer service hours to the base post office, assisting with processing more than 100,000 pounds of mail.
For his efforts, Taylor received three official PVSA lapel pins, three personalized certificates of achievement, and a congratulatory letter from President Barack Obama.
Kari Rosett, 100th Force Support Squadron teen coordinator, presented the award to Taylor.
"This is awesome!" said Taylor, upon receiving the awards.
The Presidential Volunteer Service Award was created by the the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation as a way to thank all those who lead by example, and inspire their fellow Americans to engage in volunteer service.
Master Sgt. Tyrone Curl, 100th CS postal superintendent, echoed these sentiments, "Jared sets the example for others to follow through his hard work and dedication." |
