From the introduction: “The United States of America is a country built on service—to one another, to the community, and to the Nation. Even before the founding of the Republic, service was cultivated through participation in the colonial militias and associations dedicated to helping others. Service continued to flourish with the establishment of representative local, State, and Federal governments. Over time, and with each generation, this spirit of service has continued to grow, playing a central role in strengthening civil society and shaping the Nation's character. Americans express this spirit in many forms, from everyday acts of kindness toward neighbors and community-organized efforts to rebuild after hurricanes, floods, or wildfires to moments of profound national unity such as emerged following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 or after September 11, 2001. Service in America is a critical ingredient of a vibrant and healthy democracy.”
