Voluntarism is a uniquely American tradition.
These awards also provide an incentive for all Federal employees to help us improve the effectiveness of government.
I call upon all Americans to reflect this spirit of generosity and private initiative by providing additional food to those in need.
People don't choose government service for prestige, glamour, or recognition.
