Jesse Quinn, a Paul Harris fellow from the Eugene Club, was just out on a stroll. The Extra Mile — Points of Light Volunteer Pathways is a mile-long walking path in the heart of Washington, D.C., honoring the actions and commitment to service of famous Americans who have transformed the nation and the world.
Just blocks from the White House, the monument begins at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 15th Street, continues north on 15th Street to G Street NW, then east on G Street to 13th Street. Formed by a series of bronze medallions creating the historic one-mile walking path, the monument honors individuals whose actions and commitment to service have transformed our nation and the world. As honorees medallions are added in future years, the pathway will continue down G Street.
DEDICATED TO THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE
Created in honor of President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, The Extra Mile is dedicated to the spirit of service in America. On Oct. 14, 2005, President and Mrs. Bush dedicated The Extra Mile – Points of Light Volunteer Pathway, inducting its first 20 honorees. To date, 33 medallions have been placed, paying tribute to the work of 36 individuals. The pathway stands as a permanent representation of the president’s enduring legacy of service, and it is the only monument in the nation created to honor everyday citizens for the extraordinary work they’ve done to create meaningful, lasting change in their country and around the world.
