available on an annual basis to individuals, groups and families
who have met or exceeded requirements for volunteer service

As one of hundreds of Certifying Organizations participating
in the AWARD program, The Good Knight Network confers the
award to recognize the outstanding achievements of its volunteers nationwide. We hold award ceremonies annually in the month of December.

A Message from
our Founder:
Dear
Honorees,
It has
been five years since I received the President's
Service Award Silver Medal for Public Safety
from President Clinton. Then, only fifteen awards
were given from 3,500 nominees. In my acceptance
speech, I spoke of the hundreds of Good Knight
volunteers that came together to help me be
worthy of such an honor. I wished then that
the President might not limit the number of
awards as long as the deeds were done. Three
years later, President Bush changed the requirements
to allow all Americans the opportunity to receive
the highest honor that America has to bestow
upon its volunteers.
Life
is not measured by how many breaths we take,
but by how many moments that take our breath
away. This is one of those moments for me. It
is an honor to bestow upon you this President*s
Volunteer Service Award Medal for teaching and
protecting America*s children. May God bless
America and all Her children.
Forever,
Sir Edward Michael Jagen

peaceful future for all of humanity.
In
service to children everywhere,
