Mohr, who is 87 years-old, began volunteering at TTUHSC in 1993. He was presented a lapel pin and a personalized certificate signed by U.S. President Barack Obama. The award is presented to RSVP volunteers with 4,000 hours or more of volunteer service over a lifetime. RSVP is one of the largest volunteer networks in the nation for people age 55 and over.
In a letter to Mohr, President Obama states, “In my Inaugural Address, I stated that we need a new era of responsibility — a recognition on the part of every American that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world. These are duties that we do not grudgingly accept, but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit than giving our all to a difficult task.
“Your volunteer service demonstrates the kind of commitment to your community that moves America a step closer to its great promise. Thank you for your devotion to service and for doing all you can to shape a better tomorrow for our great nation.”
