It's a day for fireworks and barbeques and parades. A day when our chests swell with patriotic pride.
Now there's a way you can demonstrate that patriotic pride all summer. It's by volunteering through United We Serve, a national call to service by President Obama. United We Serve is an opportunity for Americans to serve their country this summer by volunteering and creating positive change in their communities.
United We Serve challenges all Americans to join in our country's economic and social renewal by engaging in sustained, meaningful community service. This summer initiative has just begun and it'll conclude on a new National Day of Service and Remembrance on September 11.
United We Serve is targeting four areas: education, health care, energy independence and community renewal. The president says while government is tackling all of these issues, government can't do the job alone. To rebuild our local communities, our state and our nation, volunteers are essential. http://michigan.gov/documents/gov/Gov204Full_284718_7.mp3
