Chief Volunteer Service Award
Veteran's Administration Hospital
Houston, Texas

March 24, 1954

Clyde Robert Axtell, Jr. was awarded the honor of being named the chief volunteer among veterans due to his work within the hospital while a patient there, and because his letter to Lyndon B. Johnson, Senator from Texas and later President of the United States, had been instrumental in the enactment of a bill making all government and public buildings accessible for wheelchair occupants.
